So I am running a MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 motherboard with an AMD FX 6300 CPU. I just finished the build and have yet to load any software what-so-ever. I am having a severe problem with my BIOS CPU Temperature monitor though. According to the read-out, the CPU temperature goes from 60-70 degrees Celsius to 92-93 degrees Celsius within a 45-60 seconds. For one, I don't think the laws of physics allow a piece of metal to heat up that fast without exploding or soldering to the motherboard (I have checked the CPU is fine) but the BIOS says otherwise. I can't run the computer long enough to flash the BIOS (I am running a back-up of the original BIOS off a flash drive) before it "overheats". What the heck is going on here?
Just for note, I have the side of the case open with an oscillating fan blowing cool air into the system, the front case CPU Temperature readout never goes above 30 degrees Celsius (it starts at 25), I have not messed with any kind of overclocking or anything to possibly get it up to that temperature, and the motherboard termperature is around 25-30 degree Celsius. I used the stock fan and thermal paste.
In summary, 1) Are temperatures like that even possible (just out of curiosity), and 2) How do I fix a faulty BIOS Temperature read-out?
