Is the temperature too high or is OpenHardwareMonitor showing false results?

Hi guys,

I've got a question for you which I hope you can help me explain short as possible

I've downloaded OpenHardwareMonitor to check out my temperatures because when I play BF1 my computer gets very hot. I opened my PC up and it was all dusty. This is cleaned now.

After the cleanup my temps look like this when I startup my PC: http://i68.tinypic.com/16c6o83.png
And I don't understand half of what it shows.

I can see some temps go up as far as 112 C! I've looked in other forums and sites and some say that sometimes it's the OHM software that shows false results but I'm not quite sure.

My PC specs:
Intel Core i5-4670 3.40 Ghz Quadcore
8 GB Ram Corsair
Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti
OS: Win7 Ultimate 64-bit
Computer case: Fractal Node 304 Black
No cooler system, only the interior cooling fans!

Is it my computer case? Lack of cooling system? New thermal paste? (because I have never replaced this) or something else?

I hope you can help!

Thank you for your quick response

By time I first posted my thread I have already played BF1, CS:GO and H1Z1: King of the Kill.
Here's what it shows now after playing those games:

Something is still running at 100+ celcius but I'm not sure what is.
I haven't yet checked my BIOS. How do I do that?

I think AUXTIN may be a PSU temp sensor. It's either that or a board temp, but I wouldn't worry too much as these software readings are quite often wrong, especially for auxiliary readings. The rest of your temps and voltages are fine.

Can you physically touch your PSU to see if its super hot? Can you tell if the fan in it is working? Do you know which model it is?

Also, what do you mean by no cooler system? Your PC probably wouldnt even boot without a cooler, and wouldnt have normal temps like that. Those AUXTIN readings are nothing to do with your CPU temps anyway.

To check in BIOS, just check your board manual for the key to press upon boot to access them. It's usually the DEL key. There should be some readings in there if you navigate through the menus.

Thank you again for the response.

What I meant by 'no cooling system' is that I don't have a 'water cooling system'. Sorry for the mistake.

Also my PSU is placed in the front of the case. Right behind two front fans. When I touch on top of the case right there its really hot. Those fans were dusty but are cleaned now which helped a lot with the temp. Right now it's not near as hot as before.
I've got the Corsair CX600M 600 W. It does make a weird noise as if something is hitting the fan inside the PSU.

I'm glad I don't have to worry. If the temps are somewhere normal I can live with that. My problem is if my computer overheat I can't afford a new one. So if there's something I can do to make it last as long as possible I'll do that instead.

Thank you for your answer.
