High temperature on a single sensor

Hi all,

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong section.

I am hoping someone can help me, i have recently bought an oculus rift headset and so have been paying more attention to my GPU performance and overall temperatures than normal and have noticed that one of my inbuilt temperature sensors on Corsair Link is showing readings of between 80-90C even when no load.

I'm assuming this is a faulty sensor and can be ignored however i wanted to check before there could be something else.

Cheers
Dan

Do not worry about it, software like corsair link and hwmonitor isn't tuned for every bit of hardware so often will read things incorrectly. Interestingly, hwinfo64 doesn't show any of these odd temperature readings.
I have an X99-Pro also and TMPIN5 is read as 99C all the time.

I thought it would be a SW fault, cheers @Disco_P
