While "HWMonitor" software; shows my motherboard temp is constantly around 109-112 degrees (Celsius) even while computer is idling. During intense gameplay, temps don't increase (according to HWMonitor) but case gets considerably warm to the touch.
Is it possible I am getting faulty readings from HWMonitor and if so, is there a better application I can use to check on temps? Also, has anyone any experience/advice to help improve cooling in this case - my cabling job is quite tidy btw.
Node202 has poor exhaust and currently I have one Noctua intake fan directly onto GPU.
CPU temps look good though (between 39-46) as shown by HWMonitor & CPU-Z
Thanks in advance for advice -
