I don't know if this is the right place to post this issue, but it's about cooling in some way, so here goes:
I woke up today to find my computer, which had been DLing something all night and doing nothing else in a room in the mid 60s F, but Hardware Monitor and ASUS Thermal Radar both showed the CPU and System temp as 123 C(!). I quickly felt the air coming out of the top two fans and it felt fine. I powered down anyway and removed the door to feel inside. Nothing. It felt fine. I touched just about everything I thought I should and nothing was even warm: the memory, the various heatsinks around the CPU, the H80 block. All cool to the touch.
Any ideas? Right now HWmonitor shows a SYS temp of 29, CPU 60 (the cores are in the 20s); Thermal Radar reads 24 CPU, 29 MB. Is this a faulty sensor? Should I update my bios if possible? Wait for an update to HWmonitor? I'm obviously not going to OC anything until I get this figured out.
So here's another mystery to solve.
