Computer temps.

[Ghost Robertson]

So I'm using HwMonitor and i think my PCH reads 92°c (it's the AUXTIN4)
Also another reading says 118°c (the AUXTIN2 and the TMPIN8)

Now a google said 118°c is wrong and the sensor isn't reading it right or there's no sensor there.
The 92°c is a bit worrying.

So could some one shed some light onto what's happening?

Here's my computer specs.

Intel Core i5 12400F (2.5Ghz Six core + HT, 18MB Intel Smart Cache)
Deepcool AG500 ARGB Performance CPU Cooler
ASUS TUF GAMING B660-PLUS WIFI D4
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18
ASUS PRIME NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 TI 8GB
WD Blue SN580 1TB & 2TB SSD's
Creative Sound blaster Audigy Rx 7.1 (PCI-E)
Corsair RM850x 850watt ATX 3.1 PSU
Fractal Design Define 5, Black
3x Noctua industrial PPC NF-A14 iPPC-2000 PWM IP67 140mm Fans

Windows 11 Home 64bit

Ignore it, it's a wrong reading. All the 120-150°C and -40°C temperatures are wrong readings, having auxiliary sources. Focus on HDD, VGA[GPU], CPU [cores] and chipset [system], nothing else.

P.S.: AUXTiN is PSU sensor, if Your PSU had 100°C, You'd touch it in the back and burn Your fingers. Try it, and find out. 99% it's not gonna be even moderately warm.

Yeah i read that, the back of my psu is cool, my CPU, GPU and SSD's are all fine.

I do know my fans aren't going too fast, i looked up setting the Qfan control and they said asus motherboards already have good fan curves.

sometime temps like that in hwmonitor are just missing sensors
if they never change ignore them

some boards need offsets to read correctly
try with the boards temp monitoring software

and also using multiple software to red temps at the same time will give wrong results too
if they both asking the same sensor at close to the same time they get answers mixed up

Well the AUXTIN4 is now reading 83°c so it went down 9°c.

that is why i dont use HWmonitor, too many numbers we casual shouldnt or wouldnt know
i only see those numbers , when i seeing problem on my PC
trust your Motherboard, or PSU, if too heat, your PC will automatically shutdown

it works for most mobos, and does report ssd, cpu core, and gpu core temps correctly
if reported on their forums they can add changes so it does report board sensors correctly

HWmonitor isn't bad

Sure it told me readings before of 255C and I freaked out

Then I got -18C on my cpu and I was confused at how that's possible with water cooling lol.

To be fair that's my point the only two readout I ever got that were faulty and that was over a lot of builds

If the value never changes it's likely a faulty readout.
