5820K severly damaged to unknown reasons

[Dub7030]

My 5820K is damaged beyond repair, and i'm confused on what caused it. It used to be able to hit 4.4ghz at 1.3v and the hottest core wouldn't go past 80c. Its been cooled by a Noctua NH-D15 chromax which is not that old and the thermal paste has been changed regularly. The picture I have tagged in this post is with stock operation conditions and just with a bit of RAM adjustments. For some reason the package temp is not reading correctly and it was just working fine a few days ago. If i leave everything stock and XMP enabled, it wont go over 60c. But I absolutely can not do any adjustments without the cores hitting 90c and the package temp will only read about 55c. Plus I had the max cpu temp set at 85c in the bios before the system would shutoff. So what gives?!? Did i do something wrong, or is the system just failing?

Do you see the same results in HWinfo64??? HWMonitor is known to be inaccurate.

^^^ Always use HWiNFO64, not only does it actually read the sensors right, it also shows you far more data (It'll read off every single sensor that it can find).

Clear CMOS and if this doesnt help, check if there's a newer BIOS version.

 

I do recall there's a voltage that skews the temperature readings (probably related to thermistors inside the CPU). I forgot if it's an Intel thing or AMD thing since I couldnt even remember what it's called.

Package temp is off die. It is not a core temp. 

Your system Agent offset is probably giving you the high core temps.

It's at +0.358v. That is huge. You should be closer to 1.1v, so a 0.1+ offset at most.

Well I have figured out that the CPU is not damaged, but matter of fact it was due HWMonitor going haywire when I set a manual shutoff temp in the bios. Plus at the time of the original post, my OC was actually 4.2GHZ at 1.25V. I changed it a while back to keep temps low. Thank you Zando Bob and SpiderMan for the advice, I thought they both were the same software. APPARENTLY I WAS WRONG! Thank you everybody for the responses.
