i5-4670k actual temp?

[JosiahBradley]

I've been running prime95 in blend mode for a few hours now for a stability test. I was checking my temps and felt really proud of my setup until I looked at the hardware monitor. Intel XTU reports a core temp of 51C, NZXT is reporting a water temp of 35C; however, I have six temps listed from the hardware monitor and one is 81C!

What is melting? There isn't a lot of air flow over the VRMs, but there is a giant heatsink on them. The GPU idles around 30C as reported by afterburner.

Are you sure its mounted correctly?

You have 15 C in your room?

Yes, it has been running fine for weeks, and the water temp never goes over 35C.

Ambient temps are 20-21C

Just trying to narrow down what could possibly be 81C.

After stopping prime95 after a few more hours, the core temp dropped to 30C and the 81C stayed at 81C, maybe it's a bug with the temperature monitor.

Uncalibrated sensor (like the other ones I mean 3.5C does not make sense either) this may not even be connected..

maybe it's a bug with the temperature monitor.

Its a hard thing for software to get this right since there is not a standard on how to interperate the value the sensor returns.

It might be monitoring a sensor that's not even for temperature. Could be misinterpreting a voltage or RPM sensor as temps.

That looks like OpenHardwareMonitor? I have the same issue, I just hide the weird sensors.
