I just noticed after opening up Hardware Monitor earlier today that one of the parts in my PC was getting really hot. My motherboard is a MSI P67A-G43, and it is the motherboard TMPIN1 that is getting hot when I'm playing games. Right now on idle it is about 54C, but when I'm playing a game like Guild Wars 2, it gets to 98C. For reference, the TMPIN0 and TMPIN2 only get to around 55-60C if even that during load, so why it this TMPIN 1 getting so hot? Also, my CPU and GPU only get around to 70C when I'm playing, and they are idle at around 50C. So what is wrong with just that particular part of the system?
I've seen that error before. It's likely a bug in either the temperature sensor or the software that's reading it. If you touch the mobo components while running under stress and none feel hot, then you're fine.

I have also wondered what these TMPIN things are. My TMPIN1 get hot as well, around 70c ish when the GPU is round 67c and CPU is around 44c.
Yeah today after leaving the computer for 2 days, I played again, and this time the temps went up to around 108C. I think I may have to open up my computer again. :(
I'm using the stock Intel fan that came with my i5-2500K. I don't have it overclocked. I just took off the side of my case, and opened up Guild Wars 2, as well as Hardware Monitor. Right now the CPU is sitting at a maximum of 63C, and TMPIN1 rose to 79C. So which part should I look at to see what the problem is? My CPU cooler, should I blow some canned air into there or something to dislodge the dust?

If your system is dusty then definately blow it out. Just be careful if you're using canned air, it's not always as dry as it should be. Dust insulates components and restricts air flow, so yeah get rid of it.
