Hello everyone I'm kind of worried about my pc temps specifically the TMPIN1 which I suppose is the northbridge of the motherboard(my board is MSI H61M-P31/W8) and it seems like the temps are abnormally high, I am using HWmonitor and the TMPIN1 reading is like 118oC and just stays there all throughout my usage, I tried to use a fan and the temps dropped for about only 5 degrees, I tried to touch it and it doesnt feel like a hundred degrees or so(aside from the fact that I was electrocuted) and actually I never had any problems during my usage and its running almost 24/7 and no blue screens, no thermal shutdowns or whatsoever I even tried to stress test it for about three hours and nothing bad happened but I'm still kinda worried since I really have no idea whats going on Is it just a false reading? or is something wrong?

It is probably a false reading, but did you really get electrocuted? I would be more concerned about that damaging the board, they usually don't like unnecessary voltage in places. 

 

Spoiler

Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's  1TB  Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0)

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.
