worrying bios cpu temp

[tdshooter]

so im using a brand new i7-7700k with an equally new MSI Z270 Tomahawk motherboard and a Noctua NH-l9x65 cooler and when in the BIOS it says that the cpu temp is 126c which scared the bejeebus out of me but after booting i did a Ghost Recon Wildlands benchmark which i have attached and using MSI Afterburner to look at the temp which showed that the max temp cpu ever reached was about 80c and then playing around a little bit with some shooting and explosions and also watching a 1080p youtube on my other monitor i was able to push it to 88c i will be getting a new cpu cooler regardless just cause i would like it to be lower but im wondering is the 126c in the BIOS just an error or should i be worried thanks in advance

PS. sorry if this is the wrong place to post this im new

its a false reading, it shutdowns way before it hits that temp.
