CPU Not Reporting Temperatures

So I've been running my 6600k (not OC'ed yet) under water on a MSI z170A Krait Gaming board and temps have been good. Unfortunately, I am beginning to suspect they are too good because it's either left blank in any detection programs (HW monitor, CPU-Z) or defaults to 0 (Overwatch's little GPU temp indicator. In UEFI it will tell me the temperature (39 degrees after a lot of gaming then near immediate reboot. With iGPU being used b/c not GPU at the moment, that seems normal enough) so it's probably not a broken sensor, but I don't know why the OS can't read it. I'm currently setting up an Ubuntu VM so I'll be able to see if it's an OS thing whenever I get around to it, but I doubt that's the issue. Any ideas?

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.
