Hi

i got the pc all running and working and i ran a temps and rpm monitoring system (i know these readings are correct to the system and not just the software coz bois says the same thing)

i had a 3 pin fan plugged into on of the headers and the readings are jumping around random rpm levels, going from 0 rpm to 675000 rpm... but listerning to the fan it sounds normal...

also i have a 3 temps monitoring one at 23c, another at like 35C, both slowing flickering around that area... and the final one is sat at 128C and not moving.

Ive been running games and CPU temps around 55C, GPU 70C... both normal from web sources, and had no crashings or errors

Why could my motherboard be showing fake readings? is it faulty?
