Overheating problems

[Epiceleon]

Hey guys my motherboard keeps restarting my pc because it keeps reaching near 100 Celsius. My old mobo did have this problem and it worked just fine, so is it possible that the mobo could be falsely reporting its temperatures? Or maybe because of a faulty board that I should get RMA’d?

1 degree celsius is alright, if you end up with 9000% degree celsius now thats an overheat issue. also, usually false reporting issues are like 128 degrees celsius by default, or absent sensors.

 

what software do you use to monitor your temps? could you post a picture of the data?

I just turned on my computer and it is already reading at 100 degrees C temps which seems almost impossible in a room that is around 70 degrees F

That's a faulty sensor. You could send it back, but I wouldnt bother. The CPU temps should be below the clocks

Then is it possible for those readings to be forcing my pc to self restart itself and/or freeze when just Norway gets the internet?

My phone just autocorrected browsing to Norway...

there is mine for comparison, you can see it says 128 celsius on the 5th value but thats default value for an absent sensor, yours have differences between current value and max, hinting it might be a real value. try sensing around your motherboard with your hand, touch the heatsinks, do you feel it's very hot somewhere?

Self restarts only relate to CPU temps. The safety mechanics dont care if the mobo is on fire or not as long as the CPU doesnt overheat

 

Is the system overclocked?

Nope and the CPU doesn’t go above 50C at any time

I don’t feel any heat sinks that have any sort of heat, but is it weird that it’s readings shoot up to 100C as soon as I turn the PC on?

then it's probably a false reading.

 

what happens exactly when you say it keeps restarting you pc?

I can just be watching a YouTube video or something, and not doing anything intensive and the computer just restarts like if I pressed the restart button
