HWMonitor TMPIN2

What exactly does TMPIN2 read as I've seen some very high temps from it of late, the highest being 114'c after benching at 3.8ghz.

Specs in cpu-z in sig.

I was wondering the same thing too. I think i figured it out (well on my mobo) it seems to be the main heatsink block (northbridge). It pretty hot it about 70C on mine :eek:

Check my post here

The northbridge is hot to touch. But I've read else where that TMPIN2 is a dead sensor that gives a false readout.

i would like to know what it is aswell cos mines showing up as 128'c

apparently its a dead sensor in the cpu. So if its a dead sensor why dont they get rid of it.

Certainly for me it not a dead sensor.On my mobo it reading the northbridge heat sink temperature.

Its probably different for you as we are on AMD and your running Intel

I'm having the same issue.. my TMPIN2 reading, whatever it is, is sat dead on 128degC and hasn't moved in the last 30 minutes despite me switching the system between idle and load.

Is there a consensus that TMPIN2 is a dead sensor in AMD chips/mobos? Can't seem to find anything definitive online. Had me worried when I first saw it!!
