i5-9600k single temperature over heating

[Polar Canada]

I have a i5-9600k with a deep gammaxx 400 cooling it. its not over clocked. I was looking in open hardware monitor and one of the temps is constantly around 90-105 degrees. I already took off the cooler and re-applied new thermal paste and the temp stayed at that same value.

Probably a buggy reading. Ignore it, it's fine.

Just now, Polar Canada said:

around 90-105 degrees

This is a phantom temperature sensor, as well as the ones that show 20-something degrees. A multicontroller chip normally has several temperature inputs, but not all of them are used, so the software reports crazy values for such inputs.

ok thanks

Try using HWINFO64 instead of HWmonitor and see if the same issue happens.

HWmonitor is garbage anyway.
