CPU Temperature Abnormally High?

[spirit]

I don't often create threads here but I have a question for you all. I have an older PC with a 3700+ running at stock clockspeed and voltages (it's not been overclock as far as I'm aware) and I was curious to see what temperatures I was getting. I downloaded PC Wizard to see if I could get a temperature for the CPU, and it reckons it's running at 127C?

I had a look in the BIOS and it reckons the CPU is running at around 43/44C which seems about right, and the temperature PC Wizard reckons TMPIN1 is running at, but what is TMPIN2 and why is it at 127C? If something in my system is running at 127C I need to sort it out quickly. :/

Thanks.

looks like 2^7 to me counting from 0 so id say its ignorable.

Yeah I'd figured if my CPU was running at 127C then I would have found out by know, so it's probably ignorable. Not sure what you mean by "2^7 to me counting from 0" though??

It's dud and/or disconnected sensor, they often read 0c-3c or 125c-128c

base two to the seventh power is 128, and counting from zero is 127.

does Core Temp read the same?

IT is in farenheit unit.

OK thanks. Looks like nothing to worry about.

No its not, look at the image again. it says 127 C which means celsius.

An Athlon 3700+ would not function at temperatures over 80 degrees Celsius. The reading is definitely faulty. I would reach into your computer and touch your heatsink to test the temperature after your system has been running for about an hour (be careful of fans). If the heatsink is not hot to the touch then there is no issue.
