"Remote 2" at 117C according to SpeedFan

[Trizik]

"Remote 2" is reading at 117C according to SpeedFan. This reading took place just after a cold start.

A couple of weeks ago the brand new power supply that came with my brand new case went bad after two days of running... I just got the replacement today and everything seems to be running fine, but this temperature reading is making me nervous. Is Remote 2 the power supply temperature, and if so is 117C safe? The reading is now up to 120C...

Here's a screen:

First of all, you could fry and egg, boil water, etc. on a 120C surface. It's like a frying pan, your computer would not be running. Likely a fan error, those things are always screwed. Put your hand on it, if the skin doesn't melt then it's fine.

Speedfan reports all temps, even if the temp sensor is not there anymore. If it reads 120C then that sensor is not connected. It's possible these sensors were part of R&D and removed for production boards, but that is just a guess.

You can turn off which sensors are displayed, and to get a better feel for which sensor is which temp, download Everest Home Edition and compare the temps it reads to what speedfan reads, and then you can find out which sensor is which temp.

Thanks.

I just noticed that the fan inside the power supply has a clear piece of plastic covering half the fan... looks very bad for air flow.

I hardly feel any air blowing from the bottom or the back of the power supply... is this normal? I noticed that my previous power supply didn't have much air flow either.

there are alot of strange sensors that speedfan detects.

some are duplicates or erroneus, like in this case.
