MB Sensor reporting 122C / 252F -- Didn't think this was possible

[WYSIWYG57]

Hello all,
I'm troubleshooting a bootup freeze I started having this morning. My first thought is overheating, so I went to look at my temperatures.
I find it hard to believe that if my MB was at 112C / 252F there's no way I would be using it right now to write this post.

Is this possible ? or is it more likely just a bad sensor ?


Temperatures:
Motherboard 122 °C (252 °F)
CPU 6 °C (43 °F)

CPU #1 / Core #1 19 °C (66 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #2 20 °C (68 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #3 19 °C (66 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #4 19 °C (66 °F)

Cooling Fans:

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have,

Equally unlikely is the 6C temp on your CPU. I'd guess the sensors are borked, but it could just be the software. Newer bios available?

Hmmm....???

Is your power supply okay?

The mainboard is cheap, as is the 450watt rated power supply. Typical pre-built Asus tower woes..

It's definitely possible if close to VRM/FETs but given how suspect/unlikely the rest are, it's probably errant reporting (whether output from the hardware monitoring circuit or software interpreting it).

Hey folks, thanks for all the replies. I've swapped in a nice Corsair CX650M, in place of the no-name brand 350. Unfortunately, the power and temp readings are still the same, and my PC is still freezing up after a few minutes. At least I know I have a better quality PS now.

What I did notice however, is that I can leave the PC on for hours inside the BIOS, or even at a windows recovery screen, and the computer does NOT freeze.

Oh.. and for my temp reading software, I'm using AIDA Extreme, which has always been reliable for me.

@Burpo, I LOVE the Asus brand (had many Crosshair ROG rigs in the past), but you may be right as this is my first NON-custom built PC since 1992, so I have to wonder the quality of the board.

Just wanted to update everyone. The CPU went bad somehow. It was an Intel i7-6700. I swapped in an Intel i7-7700 and everything is fine now. Crazy stuff. I would LOVE to know how that happen after only a few months of usage and no overclocking.

SDS? Skylake Death Syndrome? That's apparently a thing. Not all of them are as durable as prior CPU generations.

Those wobbly voltages probably killed the CPU.
