Do i have enough cooling?

[jdavis2506]

Hi guys, 

 

I am a bit worried about a few of the temp readings im getting for my pc in idle and i was wondering if yous could give me some advise. 

 

The 120 deg readings are what i thought seemed very high? im kind of new to pc gaming so i thought i would just check. 

 

Thanks!

either you live in the boiling pits of hell

 

or the numbers are false `-`

 

seriously, what software is this? HWmonitor or smth? ive seen so many fked up temps reading from this software

 

edit: nvm its not the cpu temp, and that NCT6779D is infamous for reporting wrong temps anyway

never look at motherboard readings, they are not accurate.. if your PC hasn't exploded yet, you don't have to worry. And only temperatures that should ever be measured are the full system load ones, idle aren't harmful in any way.

Readings under CPUs name are correct ones. Mobo sensors are usually incorrect and measure temp in different place than what CPU itself uses.
