This is a little worrying....

Note the CPUTIN temperature!

What's that from and should I be worried?

3930k @ 4.2 so nothing too harsh of an overclock

Thats the CPU motherboard temp sensor. What does the bios reading say?

subbytna · 19 Jul 2018 at 17:23

I'll go look

How odd. No idea what's causing that. Ran cinebench and CPUTIN temp stayed the same.

It's core temperature which is important telling temperature of actual spot of CPU doing processing work.

Since you have a ROG board it could be VRM's? either that or it's just a sensor HWMonitor has invented, something running at 80C when the rest of the system is idle should be noticeable to the touch.

What does it show right after a cold boot when the computer has been off for a while?

MasterOC · 19 Jul 2018 at 19:16

Socket temps are those , they are high and is likely due to a possible selection of things , high voltage and VRM temps , zero airflow past the board , or as stated above isn’t relative and hw monitor is filling in the gaps . , hw monitor does say odd things platform to platform , says my 2700 boosts to 4.7 which I know to be poo , get an external temp monitor to check the board

I've 2 top fans exhausting, I'll perhaps swap them to intake and see if that cooler air over the mobo makes a difference. (h100 died and using air cooler just now)

I'll have a look tomorrow morning when I boot up after an overnight shut down.

If it always stay the same no matter what's happening, then it's just nonsense and can be ignored.

Edit - I see the min and max now, so I guess it is something.

Hagar · 19 Jul 2018 at 21:18

Does it not downclock at Idle? Volts should vary also?

subbytna · 20 Jul 2018 at 15:52

Dammit I forgot to look after a cold boot. PC is on most of the day so I'll have to try it again tomorrow morning.

mmj_uk · 20 Jul 2018 at 16:54

Just switch your computer off for an hour if you get the chance, it doesn't have to be off overnight.

subbytna · 20 Jul 2018 at 18:17

Ok left the PC off for 2 hours, turned it back on and the reading was in the high 80's? - This is with the top 2 corsair 120mm AF fans exhausting out the top (an additional AF 120mm Corsair fan in the rear as exhaust too)

Swapped the two top fans to be intakes so they are blowing cooler air over the mobo, VRM's, etc (same rear fan exhaust) and the readings are as follows...

subbytna · 20 Jul 2018 at 18:19

Haha, completely stumped.

My H100 AIO broke so I got a temp cooler - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/air-cooling/coolers/cpu?ckSuppliers=251&ckTab=0&sSort=2

Aorus ATC700 CPU Cooler - 2x 120mm

To be fair I've only just noticed the temp spike in HW monitor. Didn't notice it when I had the AIO H100.

Is it something to be concerned about?

subbytna · 20 Jul 2018 at 18:32

I ran Aida64 and all the temps were ok on it, including package temps.

I wonder if this is just an anomaly with the Rampage 4 board, 3930k and the HWMonitor

Chaos666 · 20 Jul 2018 at 20:56

just ignore it ...
hwmonitor can't read all the temperatures properly on ASUS boards... use AI SUITE (but i don't really recommend it.. its a terrible software

)

AiiR · 20 Jul 2018 at 22:09

Probably just VRMs which are rated at 100c+ anyway.

If it doesn't crash and the clock speeds are stable, I wouldn't worry.

new boy · 21 Jul 2018 at 01:13

Random thought, you could try leaving the side panel off, plug in a spare fan, hold it in your hand and blow it over the vrms / other things and see if the temps drop.
