Hi guys,

Built my budget gaming pc from overclockers yesterday. Has all gone okay except that i have a 90 degrees (celcius) 'cputin' temperature reported yet the cores are at 30-45degrees. Also the 'auxtin' temperature is skyhigh too.

This is reported using third party apps, Asus ai booster and one other app (realtemp?) show the cores at 30ish degrees aka normal.

My motherboard is the asus P8h67-m pro (micro atx) and case is thermaltake armor a30.

Any help on this would be great. There are threads online but they come to no actual conclusion.

Hey,

Sometimes the software reads the temperatures wrong. I would trust realtemp though - maybe try coretemp and/or HWmonitor too to be sure if you're worried. If you've seated the cooler correctly, with some thermal paste, then you'll be okay.

What CPU?

Hi bud,

Ah okay, i thought that might be the case but not sure.

My cpu is an intel i3-2100.

Hwmonitor has same issue-cores are fine but cputin and auxtin are 70degrees +.

Thanks for the quick reply.

No problem, stulid posted just after me not sure that you saw it. There's nothing to worry about :)

Two very similar threads here,

Consensus says to ignore it.

The CPU has built-in thermal protection, so ignore it.

Yep just caught my eye. Thanks everyone!

Only thing that bothers me Is that a lot of other peoples issue are when the cputin temperature is at 127 celcius which is known to be the default if tjere isnt a sensor or it cannot read one. Mine is just very high at 70-90 degrees so i am just concerned it may be a real temperature ad its not the 127degrees it defaults to if there is no sensor.
