H110M-E/M.2 showing as 118C temp in speccy

[[drunk] 2021 Giant Stance]

Is this an error or is something wrong?

Is this the little gold heatsink on the chip located under the the pci slots?

The M.2 is probably an NVMe drive and those can run hot. Although that is a tad over the point I'd be comfortable letting it sit like that.

Is your PC watercooled only?

I don't have a m.2 drive

Hmm, that's weird. Maybe it's leaking power into the drive slot without there being anything there...? I'm not too proficient in this stuff tbh

Farenheit or celcius? If it's celcius the drive would be toast by now, if it's farenheit it's perfectly reasonable.

m.2 is part of the model of the motherboard only. I don't have anything in there.

Yeah, 118C is not a tad over -- that is water that vaporized and is no longer in the tea kettle.

I'd expect its 118F. That's about 48C, which is on the high side of average depending on air flow and does it have a heatsink on it. Maybe a $15 aftermarket heatsink would bring that down to 42C/107F or so with any luck. give or take a few degrees.


As a matter of comparison, my NVMe drive temp average at the moment is 39C or about 102F.

Temp is wrong. No way it's at 118C. Download HWMonitor and check the mobo sensor there.

It's fine. This could be missing of malfunctioning sensor, or software error of some kind. Either way it's not uncommon to see some weird 100+ degrees thing in HWMonitor/Speccy/whatever. All the important parts will thermal throttle to prevent damage way before they reach 118, they're likely to shut down completely at 100-ish. Don't mind that stuff.

[_I_]

its fine
118c = 244-255f = missing temp sensor at that location

screenshot of where the '118 celsius' is read.
as an alternative, use hwinfo, hardware monitor, spedfan to monitor temperatures and then compare readings.

more likely than not, false sensor reading.
