Weird HWMonitor Readings

[ACRinaldi]

I recently moved my old PC parts to a new chasis along with a new power supply: EVGA supernova 850 g2. 

 

Before in in the old chasis the TMPIN0 reading from HWMonitor was usually around 30-35 deg C. Now in the new chasis, it is reading it as -66 deg C. All the other temperatures are fine (30-35 deg C range or lower). 

 

What does the negative value mean? Anything serious? 

 

PS. Still using an old Dell motherboard that came with my XPS 8700

TMPIN0 is supposed to be the CPU temp. HWMonitor is likely just glitching out. Monitoring software tends to show negative values when it isn't able to read the sensor correctly. Don't be afraid. If it was good before, it is probably still fine.

TIME FOR LN2 BABY 

OVERCLOCK TEH SNOT OUT IT

 

jks its just a software glitch

try another monitoring software ?

Ok thanks guys! Yea I'm hoping it's just a glitch. I played some Overwatch for a bit and it went up to -32 deg C. So it still is sensing some increase in temp.

Supposed, yes. But its also mobo sensor and those are usually buggy or just don't work.
