Or your sensor could be wrong. Try touching your heat sink to see if its hot
Whenever I move the mouse in a circle and HWMonitor shows the temps rising, I can hear the fan increasing speed. So I don't think the sensor is wrong if the fan is increasing speed. BIOS settings are at default. I didn't just build my pc, it's been built for a year and a half now. I should mention something however.
Ok. This might be kinda long so i'm sorry but it might give a better explanation of things. I was having an issue with my video card not working in my pc. I thought it was the PCIE slot x16 so I decided to try and use the only other PCIE slot that I had which was x4. In order to do this I had to unplug a SATA cable that was in the way because I have a micro ATX motherboard which is pretty small and the card is big and takes up space. So, long story short I totally forgot that some sata cables have a little latch that you have to hold down in order to unplug them. I tried unplugging the cable and i thought it was just stuck in there really good, so I grabbed a pair of pliers. I pretty much yanked the sata cable until I ripped it out of the socket.
Now, I checked the socket and it didn't look damaged, only the cable had a little scratch on it. So I resumed plugging my GPU into the PCIE x4 socket and when I turned on my computer, all I saw was "Loading Operating System..." I turned off my pc and noticed that when I pulled out the sata plug, I actually ripped it out of the back side of my SSD. I checked it out and a piece of the plastic was broken where you plug in the sata cable, and one of the pins were bent as well.
lol . . . so i managed to plug in my sata cable on my SSD and hold it there with a piece of tape and when I turned on my pc it worked. But NOW is when I started noticing the hotter temperatures. The reason why I didn't mention this at first is because I didn't think that my SSD would have anything to do with my CPU temps. But maybe I damaged the board when I yanked out the cable? Or maybe I loosened the fan? I looked at it and felt it to see if it was loose but it seems fine.
I just wanted to get as much information as I can before I decide to take apart my computer and re-seat my CPU and heat sink again.
