Hello. :)
What is the System 1 temperature? Northbridge or Southbridge? Sometimes it goes to 85c and then goes directly down to 35c Is this a bug?

Hi,
being totally honest I would think this is a bug. Which version of HWMonitor are you using? You can get the latest version 1.17 from here: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
I believe that System1 would normally be the Motherboard Temp.
-
I'm using the latest version HWMonitor. The CPU temperature is the same. It goes up to 123C and goes down 30-35C. When i stresstesting the CPU with Prime95 it goes up to 45C.
Maybe a bug anyway. Thanks.

If you are overclocking your system you might find that the readings from HWMonitor, along with other monitoring software displays odd readings. For example, when I unlock certain CPU's I lose all temperature readings, whilst with another CPU I get erroneous voltage readings.
Have you tried using EasyTune6 or any other software for monitoring your hardware?
-
I have unlocked my X3 720 to a X4. I lose my cores temperatures but i can still see the temperature of the CPU. But if my CPU goes up to 123, should it shutdown the computer? Sorry for my English, not living here.

If your CPU goes above it's safe working temperature or maximum voltage then, if you have Hardware Thermal Control enabled under the PC Health Status section of BIOS then the system will automatically pull back the voltage and CPU ratio to protect the CPU but the system won't necessarily shutdown. That's why it is more than likely an error with the software.
Unless you have set the Warning Alarms under the same section of BIOS you won't get any warning if your CPU is overheating. These warnings are usually set to disabled by default so you have to manually alter them.
As I said before, when you unlock your CPU or make other changes when overclocking a lot of the software available starts throwing up bad figures. That is why I use several different monitoring programmes as then most things are covered.
I tend to use Coretemp for monitoring the CPU along with EasyTune6, HWMonitor and AMD Overdrive for voltages, timings but none of them are totally reliable and I use them as a guide rather than anything else.
The best way of checking things like CPU Temps and system voltages is through BIOS and a quick reboot and then entering BIOS will give you pretty accurate figures for your Temps if you are really concerned.

I have the same CPU-MB combo ( even the unlocked part ) and I've never experienced this. I'd say it's either a software bug or faulty sensors. System 1 is the motherboard temp, like absic said. I see your last sensor is at least the same as mine ;D. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if the NB reached 81 degrees under stress with the factory heatsink.

Hmm ok. I think this problem come after i update the bios to F11C. Its a beta bios. Can i flash back to a eailer version with Q-Flash?
-
Yes, you can safely flash back to an earlier version using QFlash.

I resolved this by a flashing back to F10. Thank you guys :)
