What is VTIN temp?

[Tech Tweaker]

Anyone know what VTIN is?

I'm wondering because I have something that is showing up in HWMonitor as VTIN, and whatever it is it's apparently either rather hot or I have a sensor that isn't working right.

Frankly, it's worrying me a bit because its temp is rather high and I'm really beginning to wonder what it is, because even after feeling around my mobo I couldn't find anything that was more than just lukewarm to the touch.

That particular component runs hot all the time, even at stock speeds and voltages.

I'll post a pic with this so that you'll know what I mean by rather hot.

i have no idea, but in my experience HW monitor is very very inaccurate sometimes!
i get a whole lot of wrong readings with it compared to many other programs and bios

Believe me, if there was anything in your case that ran 91°C - especially since you felt around for heat sources - you would have found it by now. I wouldn't worry about it.

yea im guessing you have a bad sensor.

VTIN

The 'reporting/monitoring' chip on the board makes a huge difference in what Temps may mean. In the case of VTIN, it seems with laptops to be battery temp. So as some say above it seems a bad sensor, it could in fact be a spurious reading that in fact should not be polled at all, but disabled in the monitor software.
