I'd be willing to be that "temp 3" sensor reading is just an erroneous reading and does not reflect any actual temperatures. All your other temps, motherboard, CPU 0, CPU package, GPU, look fine. There are often boards that show one inaccurate reading on monitoring software and why that is, I can't say, other than the monitoring utilities are not really intended for that particular sensor or the bios hardware tables are inaccurate. I'd make sure you have the latest bios version installed for your motherboard to start with. This may also just be common to your board, and should be ignored.

What is your motherboard model number?
For one, I probably wouldn't use speedfan to control fan speed. Bios controls are a better method of managing fans speeds if they're supported by your motherboard, but that's entirely up to you.

More importantly, download HWinfo, install it, run "sensors only" and the post screenshots of all the sensors which will probably take three screenshots to capture them all.

its not cloked its all in stock values ^^ im afraid of overcloking

 
No, all stock coolers run at high RPMs. Even at idle the speed of stock cooler will usually be higher than an aftermarket cooler under load.

If there is a "ticking" sound, then that's probably not good and the fan blades are either hitting something like the wiring from the fan or a pull tie, or the bearing is going out. You need to verify what is making the sound.

Temp 3 probably isn't actually accurate, and almost certainly does not reflect high temperatures at all, like I said before.

There are no bios revisions that address thermal sensors, so that probably isn't related but you can still update the bios if you wish, which is never really a bad idea, but probably isn't strictly necessary in this case either.

I think its broken cuz a few mins back the fan stoped and a beep sound came up . Opend up the case the fan was stoped and trying to spin back again but it didnt so ill ger a new heatsink again ..
Btw one last question i never updated my bios so i dont rly konw how to do it ... if you can pm me i hould be thankfull. And thanks for replying and helping
 
I wouldn't probably worry about that for now. I'm fairly certain it's not related to your problem and unless you're having issues that would benefit from updating the bios, I'd just leave it as is. The most recent version is from 2011 anyhow, so there's probably not much to be gained from updating. As to the CPU cooler, I'd highly recommend not going with some super cheap model. Get a decent cooler, or you'll be right back where you are now in no time at all. People spend 10-15 dollars, three to four times on cheap coolers, and still end up with a cheap cooler when they could have spend 30-45 dollars ONCE on a half decent cooler and never had to worry about it again for the life of that system, and maybe the next system as well.

Much will revolve around what case you have as to what you can fit in there, so knowing your case model or prebuilt system model will be important.

Thanks for your help ill buy a good cooler and hopefully this will be fixed cheers

 
If the fan is not working, then no, it is NOT safe. You need to have all fans, including power supply, CPU cooler, case and graphics cards, functional when in use. If any of them are not working, do not use the system. Aside from the fact that it could cause thermal damage, if there is a problem with a component it could also create a situation that causes electrical damage to the motherboard or power supply. I would not use the unit until you replace the CPU cooler or CPU cooler fan at least.
 
Normally I'd be inclined to make a snarky comment here, but I won't bother. Suffice to day, if the CPU fan isn't working right, do not listen to anybody that tells you to go ahead and run the system. Just because the temps are ok one minute does not mean they will be the next, and if you're not paying attention and it is only running at a fraction of it's intended speed because it's striking something during it's revolutions, you're liable to overheat or short out the cooler internally. Don't ever run a fan that is malfunctioning in any manner. It's poor advice and objectionable.
 
Apparently you didn't read the further posts that indicated the fans were hitting something, and making a clicking noise. If you still want to argue the point, I'll be glad to bring ten other expert system builders to this thread that will vouch for the fact that if there is ever ANY concern in regard to the CPU cooler, you should discontinue use until it is resolved.

If the fan IS spinning normally, not hitting anything and if it can be verified that there is not an imminent bearing failure to blame for the noise the OP is hearing, then yes, I'd agree it's ok to use. Otherwise, it's not. Period.
