I think my PC is gonna melt any second

[Faris.S]

Hello everyone, today is a hot day, isn't it?

okay, enough joking, I'm freaking right now atm... so to sort things out, here's a picture of what I found in Corsair LINK. 

 

as you can see, the temp #2 is quite... melting point...

I actually did what a normal human do, freak out and open the case right away to check where the heat is coming from

AAAAAAaand it turns out to be the heatsink of the motherboard... which was quite hot to touch "not that HOT which can burn my finger as the temp #2 says" 
I don't know if I should freak out or cool it down "please kill me for the puns"

tell me what you think, and thanks for the help
I appreciate it.

No need to worry, just a derpy sensor

 

edit: what you touched is the VRM heatsink, VRM's in general do get quite hot so the heatsink gets hot as well, those things can usually handle 100°C without any problems. What they do is they take the 12V from your PSU and turn it into 1V or whatever the CPU wants. (VCore basically, in your picture that's 0.9V).

Sensor is probably going crazy try and see with different software like HWMonitor if you get the same results.

It's pretty hot today here in Alaska, a sweltering day at 14C.

Hmm. A couple years back we had 80 days above 38C.

[Faris.S]

this is in HWMonitor, idk if it's truly a bad sensor tbh...
but I start to believe that might be the problem 
thank you @Death4two  @samcool55 @RandomGuy13 for the quick help, I was about to put ice in my PC

Time to move to Alaska. Tired of playing the part of "roast ham" here in Florida. 

[Bananasplit_00]

either sensor two is broken or its the VRM temperature in which case its more or less fine, they are rated for 125C continious work unless they are really shitty and should deliver all the power you need

[Death4two]

What you could try is leave the pc off for a few minutes and then turn it back on if its the same temperature its probably/ most definitely the sensor. @Faris.S

Umm... Don't put ice in your PC.

Water is conductive and would short it out, potentially killing the whole thing.

 

Just so you know

1. MSI Quality aka Military Class 69™ (XDD)

2. ded sensor

3. insides of your mosfets would be at Tj max

4. MSI mobos suck

5. never trust such sensors

every day here is above 38...

 

and you dont wanna see what happens in the middle of the summer

Probably faulty sensor

"35C feels like 45"

= me looking at the weather last week in Vancouver

 

the week before that

"36C feels like 47"

= me melting away

I read that as "35C feels like 95F"... Well yeah! Conversions, motherf#cker! But I realized it was "45" not 95.

nah don't worry

 

my hometown in taiwan a few years ago:

 

"39C feels like 52"

America should go screw itself with the broken nonsense units

For my american idiots who don't use metric  friends:

35 C = 95

 

45 C = 115

 

36 C = 96.8

 

47 C = 116.6

its so bad that peaple die every year

 

and i feel like am going to pass out from the heat. you feel like theres no oxygen and you cant breathe

Derpy sensor.

 

My old AM3 board had a constant 128C reading for something or other, I double checked VRM heatsinks, CPU/GPU/Socket/Ram temps and everything else was fine, proceeded to ignore it for like 5 years.

Just out of curiosity, I would leave that machine running for a day or two, putting it under varying load (basically normal operation), and then check the min/max temps. All the other temps you show varied by at least 1C, but the funky sensor is 127 across the board.

 

Not that that has any bearing on the conclusion, if your PC is working fine and you don't get burned by the heatsinks then it's almost certainly a sensor derp, but what kind of derp I wonder...

[Faris.S]

so after I got reliefed, I was thinking...
is it possible to fix that derpy sensor? or even disabling it?
