Hey,
I need some help, my motherboard's temp has jumped to ~120 C this temp appears in both the BIOS and probe II.
It weird though because it only happened this morning when I booted the PC and it certainly doesn't feel that hot.
It was fine last night when i was using it with no alert messages coming from the AI suite (which i installed just to watch my systems temps).
the motherboard was sitting around 40C the last time i checked it (a couple of weeks ago).
But what confuses me is i have the warning temperature set to 60C so why has it jumped all of a sudden?
I mean this is the first time and its up at over 100C, I called support and they suggested re-applying thermal grease to the motherboard, Firstly I've never done taken heat sinks off a motherboard before are there any good guides out there? (please link them here) but that doesn't make sense if it was the thermal greases problem wouldn't i have seen a slower climb in temperature not an immediate jump?
I clean my pc every two months and its been fine since the last clean, I cleaned it again today with still no change in temperature
I have updated everything to do with my motherboard with no results.
To me its seems like a faulty sensor.
Here are some pictures of the bios screen:
