Crazy hot temperature reading, disagrees with BIOS; advice?

Built an intel i3-4330 PC last night. Gigabyte H87M-D3H motherboard

This morning everything is still operating as expected, and I ran the CPUID HWMonitor as a routine check. Here is what it reported: (all temps in C)
Temps
TZ00 28
TZ01 30
TMPIN0 25
TMPIN1 127
TMPIN2 20
Core #0 27
Core #1 25
Package 28


Obviously concerned over the TMPIN1 number, I found that is the CPU temp I think.

I then checked a few other temperature utilities, here are results:

BIOS
CPU Temp 27

Open Hardware Monitor version 0.6 Beta
CPU temperature 27

Core Temp Utility version 0.99.8
Core #0 28
Core #1 27


My question is: Do I assume the HWMonitor is reporting falsely, or is there a serious problem?

All is fine. Don't worry.
TMPIN1 temperature of 127 is clearly erroneous and well above the temperature where the chip shuts itself off. All other values are within reason and are actually pretty good numbers for your rig.

If you want to confirm, try something like RealTemp (www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/‎) to get a second opinion.

A little Googling of TMPIN1 shows that lots of people have similar complaints with that reading.

I would agree that this is an erroneous temp reading. I just finished a build using the same i3-4330 cpu and Gigabyte H87M-D3H mobo. Installed HWMonitor on my computer this evening and was freaked out to see 127 C for TMPIN1 temp when everything else is showing 28-41 C. That led me here and I see you have exactly the same 127 C temp. So I will ignore it since temps all look good otherwise and there seem to be quite a few posts across the web concerning this same issue with HWMonitor TMPIN1 readings.
