It's getting hot in here!

Too hot.

 

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum, and also new to custom built computers/PC gaming. I've come from a console, so this is all new to me.

I'm having an issues with my computer. It all started about a week after i got it, i'd have random freezes during gameplay. sometimes it would be within the first 5 minutes of gaming, some would take a few hours before it would freeze. I'd get no warning in the way of lacking performance when it was about to freeze, it just would. so i decided to take the side of my case off, and its since stopped.

Now I've just downloaded a program called CPUID HWMonitor to check temps of my parts. and i noticed this temp called TMPIN2 @ 128*c/262*F. Which is where i believe my heat issue is coming from.

As i said, i'm new to this custom PC world, and didn't build this myself. I had a friend build it for me (but i'm questioning his ability) so i'm not sure what this TMPIN2 is or how i can find out. and i'm hoping i can get some guidance from someone here who knows a bit more than i do.

 

I'm running a;

Asus crosshair v formula z mobo

AMD FX-9590 8 core processor

Asus Radeon r9 290x OC graphics card

2x 16gb kingston hyperfury X memory sticks

Corsair H110 hydro CPU cooler

Thermaltake 1275w toughpower PSU

 

If you need anymore info please let me know. i'd like to get this solved ASAP as so not to melt me new PC

Cheers, Luke.

Try checking temps with Aida64... Might be some weird offset on HWMonitor...

If it was really 128 degree you would notice because the thing would set on fire.

[LarsReviews]

128C. I don't believe that. That can't be possible. 

[Si3Rra_7]

Thats a fake temperature , just ignore it , a lot of PCs have it and it's usually under the motherboard category giving bonkers info . Mine ranged from -30 to 300 degrees .

 

for the stutter check you installed drivers correctly , especially gpu ones , and check for throttling on the gpu with msi afterburner .

 

Talos guide you!

[Jeroen1322]

Oh and i see you have a 9590 CPU and 290 GPU. Those things can really get hot! Make sure you have propper cooling! What temps do you get in the BIOS?

[Volbet]

AMD boards are know to have problems with their temperature sensors, and they sometimes default to 128°C. So I wouldn't worry about that. It it was true however, you would know just by opening the computer.

 

However this doesn't solve your issue. 

Are you running AMD beta drivers? If you are, I suggest uninstalling it and installing the latest stable release.

 

And welcome to the forum.

Yhea what i said . Also you'd know , your PC is on fire

 

Also @LukeMT dont forget to follow your post to get updates on it  ( top right corner )

It usually gets stuck at 128c when it can't detect the real temp. Happens on my SSD. Shows 128c all the time while the rest of the sensors work properly.

[theloveablemoose]

So take off all your clothes.

 

Any who my mobo gets the same 128oC in Hwmonitor and as for the GPU run Unigine heaven in windowed and keep Afterburner open and watch temps make sure nothing is being severely throttled.

[TheSLSAMG]

Definitely a damaged temperature sensor, 128C would have it on fire.

[lachyman]

It once reported -181°C for me so I wouldn't believe any of that.

[Viiza]

HWmonitor shows temps wrong with many AMD processors. Try dowloading the ASUS mobo suite and see if that gives you some more realistic temperatures

[LukeMT]

Thanks for the tips, 128 being bogus makes a lot of sense. I've just booted up and check temps right away and its already 128.

As for checking the drivers and navigating BIOS i really wouldn't know how. That's not to say I'm computer illiterate, I've just never been taught or shown, and never needed to to need to ask.

Could one of you please give me a hand with that too?

 

Appreciatively,

Luke.

[Swndlr]

+1 to you for the title. made me smile a bit.

[frozeefrank]

@ 128 degrees Celsius, your board would have probably melted and there would be smoke comming out your exaust fan... lol
