So I had an issue with my GF's PC losing power. After replacing the board and PSU as well as testing ram and GPU it was fine. I still have that same I5-2500K and EVGA Z75 SLI board which are in 2 different PC's. The I5 is in a PC with an MSI H61M-P31/W8 and an I3 is paired with the EVGA board. The I5 PC is for a friend but TMPIN1 under AIDA64 reaches 93*C and idles around 65*C but the CPU temp with a stock cooler doesn't reach passed 72*C which is a decent temp. Here's the weird thing, the EVGA board also had a high reading but instead of TMPIN1 it said cpu but this was at the top where tmpin is usually at, but with the I3 in that board it's runnin a bit cooler. Is there a temperature sensor on the CPU that is malfunctioning? Was this the reason for random power loss even at idle?

So to sum it up.

I3 with evga board idle: 44*c

I5 with evga board idle: 65*c

I5 with evga board load: 92*C

I5 with msi board idle (tmpin 1): 65*c

I5 with msi board load (tmpin 1): 92*c

The evga board lists the temperature as cpu under first listing but the temperature sensors for the cpu and socket read under 75*c on both boards for the specified area.

Full report, included an I5-3570s as well

I5-3570s with MSI Board Idle (TMPIN1): 60*C

I5-3570s with MSI Board load (TMPIN1): 68*C

I5-2500k with MSI Board Idle (TMPIN1): 65*C

I5-2500k with MSI Board load (TMPIN1): 92*C

I3-2100 with EVGA Board Idle (TMPIN1): 42*C

I3-2100 with EVGA Board Idle (TMPIN1): 68*C

I5-3570s with EVGA Board Idle (CPU): 50*C

I5-3570s with EVGA Board Idle (CPU): 75*C

I3-2100 with EVGA Board Idle (CPU): 40*C

I3-2100 with EVGA Board Idle (CPU): 63*C

I5-2500k with EVGA Board Idle (CPU): 60*C

I3-2500K with EVGA Board Idle (CPU): 92*C

 

I am thinking that the 2500K has to be a bad chip.

Another update:

With the 2500K in the MSI board the TMPIN1 hit 115*C and the I3-2100 is hitting 75-80*C at 4k with a GTX 670 playing WoW.

So I replaced the thermal compound on the south bridge of the MSI board.  Seems to help a bit as it was a tad warm, but I think the sensor is still messed up as it's reading well above what it feels like.
