Mystery temperature - help needed.

[Rgx521]

Hey guys,

I have the following temperature situation on my overclocked (3,8ghz at 1.4875V) Phenom 2 955:



As you can see, my temperatures are quite decent except for that one "Temp 3" readout which constantly stays at 78-80°. Does anyone have an idea what temperature that may be? I'm thinking sensor error but obviously I'm still a bit scared by that readout.

Thanks!

If it never changes, it's a mobo sensor. Speedfan is so out of date, each mobo maker codes the output of a sensor different, maybe bad sensor, more likely Speedfan isn't reading it right.

Well,

unfortunately it does change. As I said, it hovers around between 78 and 80 degrees Celsius. I still have no idea what could be suffering from these kinds of temperatures, though. Something on my mainboard perhaps? I didn't overvolt that northbridge, though.

Speedfan has been giving an erroneous reading for Temp3 for years, anywhere from a negative value to the most common of 127C.

That's good to know, thank you!

Amen..... Bless the ones who know ancient knowledge.

Thanks Redduc900.
