3900X at 85 degrees in Bios

[Brizzles]

I don't follow: you're saying the new CPU gives different readings? Then it was faulty CPU not faulty sensor?

Yes, the cpU was faulty by reporting an extremely high temp

The sensor is in the CPU, so it's technically both

Glad you got it sorted mate

Just to conclude, new chip turned up today.

Test fitted with stock cooler, 35 degrees @ 1.4something in bios.

must have been a faulty thermal sensor, which would also explain no temp drops between the stock wraith cooler and the 360 Aio.

Thanks for all your help

Good to hear you got sorted
And luckily I didn't say
No way it can be the cpu

Ah ok. I thought they meant the mobo temp sensor. That makes more sense. So was the first chip actually running at a sensible temp but reporting wrongly or badly soldered so running hot and reporting correctly?

That one we'll never know. I'm inclined to think the former.

Ditto. Especially since the temp didn't drop with throttling of the voltage right down to <1.1V
