Running ASUS P5B Delux, Intel E4300 @ 2.7Ghz, watercooled. Last night I went to bed and the CPU/Mobo temps according to AsusProbe were 35/31 C, woke up this morning and the CPU/MoBo temps were 210/31 C! WTH!? Clearly thats wrong cuz the whole system is working fine, so I restart, still 210C. So then I boot into the bios to see what it says, it says the temp is -57 C!? Whaaat? Where is the diode for the CPU, how does it get the data, the waterblock looks seated fine..

Thanks,
Sam
 
use either coretemp or intels TAT to test temps. im not sure why your bios would be wrong maybe try an update, but asus probe regularly fucks up every time i try it. only other thing i could think of would be your temp diode in the CPU got fried somehow. if coretemp and TAT give you crazy numbers this could be the reason, and if so, its the first time ive heard of this happening, congratulations :p also the fact that asusprobe reads one core correctly while the other is not leads me to believe this is the case. its not a horrible thing, though i would RMA it if possible. otherwise the cores are never more then 3-5c away from each other, you can still get a ballpark from the other core
 
Well I opened up the case last night to see wtf the problem was, turns out green coolant was leaking all over the CPU. Thank god that stuff is non-conductive, I'm impressed I could boot into the OS and transcode video, I mean the CPU was _soaked_ in coolant the socket was like a little swimming pool.
 
Dude! What watercooler you using? Im interested. Seems like a solid product if it didnt fry your board.
