Possible Motherboard overheating problem

[therealfusionz]

Hello!

 

Recently I've built myself a new PC and having a possibly major issue with it - MOBO overheating.

I'm pretty sure I did not do anything wrong in the building part but it shows constant ~115C in Speccy(lol), also in Open Hardware Monitor.

MOBO temp seems to be alright as seen in BIOS(Around 27C)

My question is are sensors dead or have I done something wrong to reach such high temperatures?

 

Posting my specs in case they're needed:

CPU: Intel i5-4460 3.2GHz 
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 950 2GB(windforce)
MOBO: Asus H81-Gamer(LGA 1150)
RAM: 2x Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB 1866MHz(DDR3)
CPU cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo
SSD: 240GB
HDD: 1TB
PSU: be Quiet! 600W Pure power 9

2x 120mm fans(stock from the case)

Thanks in advance!

Naturally the bios readings should be the one to 'trust'
One would not say normal and the other one 117 C
I dubt its a broken sensor as the bios seems to read it correctly.
Could be a malfunction that windows is reading it incorrectly. Does it always show 117 C even when you just turned on the pc ?
You basically couldnt do anything wrong in the build process.
Like if you were getting an overheating cpu problem it could be that you installed the cooler incorrectly, But you dont have to install anything to cool the motherboard.
Also this is asus. Not some cheap brand meaning that it isnt low quality.
Hope this helps.
Oh and did you try reinstalling windows ?
If all other tips from other people dont work try that.

Good luck

Thank you for answering!

Yes, the temps are up high even right after booting up Windows and no, I haven't reinstalled windows(yet). But if it really isn't that temp it is showing, I guess I'll just leave it there, or what do you think?

Always exactly the same temperature  in windows  ?
Like not even 1 degree off ?
And in the bios it is always different ?

If so it is 99.9999% A fault in the readings.
And you can just ignore it..
You can even try like using the pc for a while and than shutting it off , unplugging it and touching the motherboard to see how hot it is.
Wont hurt your pc.

Alright, I tried touching the mobo when I turned off my computer and it really felt like it is about 30C(as BIOS shows) or less, so I guess windows or something is showing/reading it wrong and there is no overheating problem with the motherboard, thank god.

 

Thank you for helping, have a nice day!
