FX-4300 Voltage/heat sensor issues?

Reposting this in the proper place.

 

So I build an FX-4300 build for a friend.  I am reusing her GTX 550 TI.  I grabbed an MSI 970A-G43 board, 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz ram and a few other things.  Put it together cabled it very well, put an exhaust fan and intake fan in booted it up and the BIOS reads 60*C.  It started at 35*C then moved slowly up.  On CPU-Z Voltage ranges from 1.2-1.46V on auto.  I redid the heat sink several times, replacing the paste using the line method, I did try more once.  I tried a different PSU because the 12V rail is reading 13.9V in HW Monitor and OCCT.  HW Monitor shows temps below ambient on the CPU at times, but the temps under the voltages read anywhere from 40-60*C.  I ran prime 95 for about an hour, came back and the room was a bit warmer, the heat coming from the rear exhaust fan was pretty warm but nothing to be worried about.  The heat sink is warm, like it would feel like under 50-60*C.

 

So basically I am assuming the motherboard is not reading temps/voltages properly.  Should this be a concern?  Don't want it failing on my friend who lives across the country.  I will run prime 95 over night and if it doesn't catch fire i'll assume it's okay.  Once the temps get above 30*C on the Package under HW Monitor it stays pretty stable between 35-40*C.  I restarted the program under semi load and it's been showing 35*C+ but the Bios shows 60-65*C.

Playing wow in a major city I am getting expected frame rates. Temps under package are in the upper 40's lower 50's.

The temps look OK..I do not know what your ambient temps are like , but for a stock cooler, it seems to be OK. Under the BIOS have you enabled CoolnQuiet ? There is debate about how AMD's thermal sensors read low..some say about 10-15C lower than reality. I know my Gigabyte board measures the CPU temps very differently than my Crosshair V. My ambient temps now is over 30c..but my CPU reports in at 37c..with my GPU at 40.5c..and the MB at 31c..I know that these temps should report higher.Now with all these temps reporting , my CPU core temps read at 19.6C..I do have a custom WC loop..NOT a bloody refrigerator..I just use the reporting as a guild. I am aware of what my system normally runs at and will only react if I see the "normal" go "abnormal" . Does that make sense..?

Running prime 95 over night. I'm thinking sensors are bad. It ran a few games no issue. The bios temps are off by 30*C it would seem. Prime 95 is running 55-60*C. However the voltage sensor seems to b of too. It's set to auto and spokes between 1.2-1.46.

See how Prime95 handles it..You should see if it hit the thermal cap..Have you considered an upgrade for the cooler..?

The is the final report.  I need to isolate the problem if there is one.  From what I've read the temp sensors on AMD boards are really weird and don't read things the same way Intel boards do. According to my initial findings, TMPIN0 is CPU temp, TMPIN1 is Mobo temp and TMPIN2 is North bridge.  I've read though TMPIN0 can be CPU socket temp.  The air coming from the heatsink seems to line up with the 60*C temp readings I was getting.  One thing I want to find out is, is the voltage being read properly.
