cpu maybe overheating

[Crnjac]

specs: r9 380

i3 3210 with a stock cooler

asrock h61m-vg3

I launched hwinfo and on one side it says cpu core 0 and 1 temps are around 30 to 46c but when i scroll down under my motherboards name it says cpu 100 to 120c is this right

probably a bug. run cinebench or something and check the temps while ti is running

Easy check would be to open your system and touching that small silver heatsink on the motherboard. If it is hot that's ok, if you feel the heat before you touch it, that sensor readout maybe right. Still at that temperature, the board should have cut the power already and should refuse to boot up. I am betting on either a wrong readout of the sensor or just a bad sensor in the first place. If the board was that hot, it would heat up the GPU and the CPU as well. Something you can check.
