I'm having troubles with the temperatures in my computer. The only problem is, rivatuner shows three temps besides the GPU and the core. Temp 1 is running at 26C, Temp 2 is running 29C, and then all of a sudden Temp 3 is 105C; what's up with that? All of the fans in my computer are running, the GPU is idle at 42, and the core is only 25C. Why is it that Temp 3 is marked as so high? I don't know of anything else that needs cooling.

It means there is no 3rd sensor, just giving you a random read. if something was 105c on your computer, you'd smell it by now

I would have to agree, 105c is really hot, something would of started cooking, not to mention the room temperature would have rose significantly if this really were the case.
