Over heating

[Jaketechtips]

Help my motherboard is reaching temps of 265 deg. F. Same with the hard drive and I have a lot of cooling fans my board is a asrock extream 4 and I have a WD black drive

then you don't have the heatsink installed right

however..since you said 256F...thats basically impossible

you are getting false reading

 

check what your bios says

[thekeemo]

its probably a bug my mobo says its at 264c  which is not true

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

It just a bug.

 

Maybe a bios update might fix it.If it was 265F your house you be burnt down already

[Russell450]

Yeah, everybody is right, lol. I had a Dell Laptop that was like that and it said my laptop was 180F. But, seriously, if it was over 200F, it would burn down your house, or at least your flooring would have a burn spot. Just update your bios.

Sounds like someone didn't put a heatsink on or over-overclocked their CPU

Hey Jaketechtips and welcome to the community

 

As the guys suggested, this should be a false reading. I would try resetting the CMOS battery and updating the BIOS (this usually fixes the issue), or possibly take the computer to a technician. 

Those kinds of temperatures can't be found anywhere in a regular consumer computer (unless something is failing and burning out).
