Odd temperature readings

Hi,

Recently got a msi p67a-c43 with a 2500k and I think I'm having a mobo temp sensor fault at hand.

You see, the cpu temps in bios are very high - just after turning the pc on the reported cpu temp is about 60 celsius, so I ran cpuid hwmonitor to learn the cpu temps are about 37 at idle and about 77-79 after stressing the cpu with Cpu-z for few to ten minutes. The thing reporting overheating is actually in the mobo section under tmpin1 which reports about 130-140 celsius after stressing.

I encounter no throttling or other overheating issues whatsoever. Even cpu fan is spinning nice and quiet.

Anyone stumbled upon a simmilar issue?

Can this in fact be a defective temp sensor within the motherboard?

Put new thermal paste and clean CPU cooler.

80C is still hot.

I currently have same issue with MOBO temp - it says it's over 90C.

I did. Now it's like 63-68 during stressing tempin1 still shows above 100 though ;)

I googled your mobo a little and it seems to be a common issue. The temperature sensor reports wrong value. It could be fixed by updating the bios on your system. Also check with another monitoring program.
