yeah I know im using corsair link already... what im trying to work out is why the bios is displaying n/a n/a n/a and all the mobo tools are reading n/a 0c

I have several programs that are reading a rough cpu temp of 25...but were reading that when the cpu temp still displayed and said 45... on the mobo utility.... now mobo utility is broken....

so to clarify

TRYING TO FIX BIOS AND MOTHERBOARD UTILITIES NOT DISPLAYING TEMPERATURE DATA

Has it occurred to do a Bios Update perhaps ?

I actually had to update the bios to even get the computer to work as it was revision 1.00 out of the box and my cpu required 1.30 so all and any issues occurred on latest bios version after I used an old cpu to update the bios and then installed my proper cpu. < that itself was amusing to work out. motherboard wouldn't display anything other then 0x5a error code.

so....bios is fully up to date and it occurred a few days after the update

ok its fairly new. try a previous version. its most likely a bug with the bios.

heh........after another bios reset its returned to, mobo utilities = 45c on cpu
corsair link =19c speccy = 19c, cpu id = 19c on fx8120 and 40c on cpu? lol...

the mobo utilities one sounds correct. I would go with that one. theres no way a cpu can run at 19c without some sort of crazy cooling

tried another program mentioned on this thread, it also spits out 2 different temps for my cpu.... I mean if my pc stays at 45c even under load with the water cooling then im happy. but its bizzare to see multiple and varying temp readings for one device >.>

-side note- thoughts on what the 'auxillary' sensor is reading? seems hot

mine does the same. like I said, AMD is just like that. the ONLY reliable source is the mobo utility. idk y lol. just keep an eye on it. you should see temps about 30C idle and 50C max load.
