So I did a dangerous thing with my motherboard and CPU. I started the machine with the motherboard out of the case and the CPU cooler OFF. I took my laser thermal sensor and measured the temperature of the CPU at idle and it was about 10-15 degrees C below what was being reported by the machine. I also put my finger on it after wiping off the thermal paste and it was not hot in the least. After some more testing and stress testing I have concluded that the temperature sensors are faulty.
I've updated the BIOS, and nothing changed.The CPU was from Amazon and the GPU was from Best Buy. I found the computer in my apartment building's recycling room.
How do I go about recalibrating those on the motherboard and those on the CPU? Google didn't have much to offer.
