Hello,

I've recently rebuilt my rig from the ground up with some very helpful advice from these forums.

My Motherboard is: MSI P67A-C45 (MS-7673)
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K

Now,

I have 4 fans in my unit. One intake on the front, one outake on the back and two side fans blowing in cold air.

On CPUID Hardware Monitor I'm getting this:

TMPIN0 = 41C
TMPIN1 = 61C
TMPIN2 = 36C

TMPIN0 and TMPIN2 are my CPU and System, and in the MSI Control Centre, these match. But the one that concerns me is TMPIN1. It will start off in the 50C's on boot and when playing a game go all the way to 127C but never go above it. After finishing a game, it will go back down to the 60C's.

When I had my old set up, the same TMPIN1 would always read 127C no matter what.


Anyone have any idea as to what this is or what I can do to get it sorted?
The system plays games on high / ultra settings and doesnt crash (touch wood) at all.

My CPU temp barely breaches the early 60's and the GPU gets to around 70 on full load.

Could be a badly seated heatsink or very poorly applied/over applied TIM on the chipset..
However i've built 3 rigs with this board and rest assured they did the same, so likely the probe is borked, its not hitting 127C.
 
Its probably just being a little better cooled and taking a little while longer to get to the error level, very likely it is actually reading something but not interpeting it right.. if something was actually hitting 127c, case fans would not really help as it meant that something was not getting contact with a heatsink. What is probably happening is that 127C means in reality 70c or so for example and that case fan cooling is keeping it below the treshold temperature that triggers the ramp up in temps, just a theory. You'd be smelling things at that temp.
 
some temps just show as wacky readings in hw monitor from my experience

i have a reading of auxin which sits at 0c and jumps straight to 64c for a second then back to 0c

it'll do this a few times over the course of an hour
 
what temps do you get with the latest cpu-z and core temp.
i ran a old core temp and the temps were stupidly higher than what's shown on a up to date version.
 
Coretemp wouldn't read that temp and cpuz dosen't read temps last i checked lol. Your DTS countdown was still likely still right, only your older version probably didn't know the tjmax of your cpu thus your temps read higher.
 
TMPIN1 on your board is the chipset. The heatsink on that motherboard is a rather poor design imo. I have used a few boards with similar heatsinks and have one in a spare PC. The thing gets too hot to touch without active cooling. It will vary in temperature from 60-90c depending on load/cooling.

The 127c reading is most likely due to the sensor being unable to report above a specific temperature. I'd suspect it's around 90-100c in reality.
