So it's probably either a sensor which doesn't actually exist, one not calibrated right or one which shouldn't be exposed. It's not locked at a maximum, normally 125C, or a minimum, so it's not a short. CPU is an AMD FX 6300 using a Gammax 300 vertical cooler and I have two fans in front pushing air into the case from outside and one pushing. In BIOS it says 22 degrees celcius but its lower inside that program and Speccy. The board is recent, so it's not an aged thermistor (recent boards use diodes). CPU temperature would be expected to be at least a few degrees higher than ambient at minimum. That your temperature being read changes, I've seen you post 114C and 117C, means it likely is not a faulty sensor. These chips, and those settings, can be altered freely at runtime (SpeedFan does this). Sensor chips also have offsets (which can be wrong), calibration curves (can be wrong) and a selection of whether their pin is reading a thermistor or a diode (can be wrong). Some sensor chips support dozens of sensors, a simply typo error in UEFI code can change sensor #07h to being sensor #17h. Now choose a location to save the report file, give it a file name and click Save. Print out a copy of your system information by clicking on the File menu > Print. Thermistors age (faster when hot) while diodes can undergo an avalanche effect and lock at a particular reading. Speccy also lets you have a printed report of your system information. The diode or thermistor itself can be faulty. There are many ways a temperature sensor can give a silly number.
