I have a prime b250m-k motherboard pentium g4560 gtx 1050 and 8gb ram ddr4 2133mhz.
All my temps are fine i have used HWINFO HWMonitor Speedfan, but the only thing that is not ok is my mobo temp wich is on 119ºC. Still when i open my desktop box and touch the mobo its fine, not hot at all and i feel the air running jus fine. Can someone help me in anyway possible? Could it be a Bios bug or something?

Can you post a screenshot of the Hwinfo and speedfan temp readings? Upload to tinypic or something.

If it is anything like mine

Then those Aux Temps are for a temperature sensor that you have to purchase and install. In other words the sensors are not reading any data and are reporting BS.

If it is in fact your system/Mobo temp then by now it should have shutdown to protect itself or completely stopped working.
It is very likely that it is an unused sensor reporting junk.

It can also be a bios issue please downlaod the latest bios here. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-B250M-K/HelpDesk_Download/

Motherboard temperature sensors are often a bit (or alot) off. Also I don't recommend touching your motherboard while it's connected with power.

Also 119C is 246F so if you touched it and it did not burn you.... then it is very likely an unused sensor reporting nonsense.

As for the motherboard temperature being that much off it is highly unlikely, unless the sensor is broken. I rarely see my Mobo exceed 56c even with my high overclocks. With air cooled CPU and GPU and only 2 case fans.

EDIT: Also if you really really want to check the temp manually use a laser thermometer and you want to aim at this thing

that's your system's/motherboard's heatsink. but seriously if you did not feel the intense heat from simply moving your hand close to it without touching it at 119C(246F) it is not at that temp. A stove top on low is usually around 200F and you can definitely feel it all the way up to your face when standing.
