Temp Sensors Occasionally Show 123 degrees celcius (ASRock X79 Extreme11)

[cpachris]

It doesn't happen all the time, and sometimes rebooting the computer will solve it, but it always seems to happen again at some point.  The only two sensor readings I've seen it happen to our the 'Motherboard' and the 'CPU'.  It reports this even when the computer is idling and cool.  

 

I have a Asrock Extreme 11.  It used to work properly all the time.   No BIOS upgrades recently to blame.    Help?

1) Do you have any other sensor monitoring, tweaking or overclocking software installed? Either made by ASRock or a 3rd party?

 

2) Does your motherboard use a X79, Z77 or Z87 chipset?

1)  there is some asrock software, but i don't even have it loading...and i'm still getting the false temps anyway. 

2)  X79

Can you please try to uninstall the mentioned ASRock software and see if it makes a difference?  That software may have a background process or service that is still running, even when you opted for the application to not be auto-launched at Windows bootup.

 

Also, make sure to use the latest AIDA64 Extreme beta release available at:

After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

I'm running the latest AIDA....there are no services related to the Asrock software running unless it is started....and the Asrock software has been on my machine for a year.  The problem with AIDA is new.  Just to be sure, I uninstalled the Asrock software, and experienced the same error with AIDA.

Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme available at:

After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

 

Let me know if it helps.  If not, then please right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> Sensor Debug --> ISA Sensor Dump.  Copy-paste the full results into this topic.
