ASRock 880GXH/USB3 - High AUX Temperature

[Des1017]

New system just put together yesterday

I installed speedfan and noticed his AUX temp was between 112 and 120. I was told this was probably the northbridge sensor? Is there a way to get this down?

That's very common. Ignore it. It's a false temp. It's what happens when the software misidentifies a motherboard environmental sensor I believe and assigns wrong calibration value.

If that's 112-120°F then it's not an issue. If it's 112-120°C then it's a false reading. Nothing inside an AMD rig can boil water - I'm not so sure about Intels ...
