CPUID Hardware Monitor

[sudden1]

TMP1N0 and TMP1N0 got up to 105c while running prime 95.  I don't know what these sensors mean.  My core temp for all my cores on my i5 2500k were in the low 50's.  My cpu volatge was at 1.27 and the overclock was 4.3ghz.  My concern is that the sensor reading is way too high and if it is reading a VRM it will be damaged in no time.  Can someone tell me what this sensor might be?

_____As a suggestion.......remove heat-sink and fan..........thoroughly clean, CFan too, good chance to give a really good clean) and reapply high quality thermal paste,   reseat and install,  retest and come back with the results

Hi

Are you water or air cooling ?
 
If water it could be because you have no airflow over the CPU surrounding components anymore so adding a small dedicated fan will usually do the trick.

If you are aircooling what heatsink/fan combo have you got installed ?

 I am air cooling.  I just put this build together.  I have a Zalman 9900 max red cpu cooler.  I have an Antec Nine Hundred Two Black case. So I have one large top fan and two front and a back case fan.  I suppose I could add the side fan.  That would add to extra cooling to the motherboard.  By mobo is a ga-p67-ud4-b3 and I am running a  i5 2500k.  I lowered by overclock to 4.2ghz.  I am watching the temps and notice they are 48c.  I might have noticed the wrong thing.  I think i saw 105 and thought it was celcius.  It might be farenheit.  It was late at night.  My cpu temps look good at 51/57/52/54.  I got a 6.5 on cinebench 11.5.  Not bad.  I will add the side fan tommorow night and repost after doing another stress run on prime 95

Hi

Yes it would probably be a good idea to add the side fan as an input anyway as at present yopu have a negative pressure in your case whcih isn't ideal. Prefereably you should have a slight positive pressure for more efficiency and less dust.
