Temp reads 3C?!

Apparently I need nitrogen, not my Noctua, to do this. And yet, software picks up one temp at 3C while others hover around 30-35C. What's going on?
And does it have anything to do with me being unable to adjust fan speeds at all (Both SpeedFan and EasyTuner don't seem to work)?

I'm using the noctua llinked to CPUFAN socket and two case fans hooked up to two SYSFAN 3 pin sockets.

See specs in sig. 

Thanks for any advice  given.

Probably software issue or the temp probe is bad

Hope I could help!

My old  Athlon II X3 460 used to run at 80C with a cooler master hyper 212, The temperature probe is most likely broken like mine was...

i feel like this is a common glitch with amd processors

The temperature sensor on amd FX processors only "work" when the cpu is under load. Try running something cpu intensive and you will see the right  temperature

This temp isn't from the CPUFAN though, it's from one of the SYSFANS, but it might be the same thing?

Mobo has own sensors that aren't linked to fan headers. Software like Speedfan are used to make that link. So its propably just mobo sensor issue. And if it isn't cpu temp, I wouldn't worry over it.

 

On controlling fans, are you using 3pin or 4pin cpu fans? Have you updated bios?

They were 3pin. And I haven't updated bios. I was a bit scared of doing that...

I didn't know this before, but apparently you can't control 3pin cpu_fan's over software. You may need to get PWM fans or use LNA to decrease fan speeds.
