Weird Temp

Hello,

I've recently rebuilt my rig from the ground up with some very helpful advice from these forums.

My Motherboard is: MSI P67A-C45 (MS-7673)
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K

Now,

I have 4 fans in my unit. One intake on the front, one outake on the back and two side fans blowing in cold air.

On CPUID Hardware Monitor I'm getting this:

TMPIN0 = 41C
TMPIN1 = 61C
TMPIN2 = 36C

TMPIN0 and TMPIN2 are my CPU and System, and in the MSI Control Centre, these match. But the one that concerns me is TMPIN1. It will start off in the 50C's on boot and when playing a game go all the way to 127C but never go above it. After finishing a game, it will go back down to the 60C's.

When I had my old set up, the same TMPIN1 would always read 127C no matter what.

Anyone have any idea as to what this is or what I can do to get it sorted?
The system plays games on high / ultra settings and doesnt crash (touch wood) at all.

My CPU temp barely breaches the early 60's and the GPU gets to around 70 on full load.

Hmm,

See before I put the side fans in, it simply read 127C, now it just counts up to it when i'm on high load.

Could just be an erroneous sensor or the erroneous reading of a sensor.

What would I be expecting to see / happen if it is something thats real?

I would think that if one of the chips was actually at 127C you would be experienceing a lot of problems.

As you aren't I assume it's erroneous.

Yea I thought so. Such as crashing, dieing, burning general PC apopcalypse?

Here are Core Temp and CPU-Z. Latest Versions.

So is there anything I can do to cool it down?

So, at the risk of sounding stupid, what part of the board is actually getting hot?

Is it where the Processor sits or the bloc with the blue streak and MSI wrote on it?

Hmm ok, so what should I do then?

I've registered it with MSI for the Warranty.

I dont see it rising unless i'm putting a heavy load on it.

Well, It's been like this since I built the system over 2 weeks ago now.

I've ordered an Akasa System Exhaust Blower and one of those Antec Spot Coolers.

I'll whack these in and see what happens.

Games seem to run very smoothly, no graphical problems or system shutting down. The CPU and GPU are well cooled.

It just appears to be this one erroneous temperature that is mucking around.
