Hi guys, just built a new system and noticed some crazy temperature spikes on one of the main board sensors, even while relatively idle. Nothing is overclocked - I wanted to run it for a while at various loads to get a baseline before stepping it up a bit, but this is concerning.

It will spontaneously go from 60's to 120's Celsius in less then a second or two. I've actually tapped my finger tip around inside and have felt nothing near that temp - is it just a bad sensor and I should not let it bug me?
