Hey guys!
When I open up HWMonitor it shows me all temps are fine, but for the AUX temp. It's 52 when idle. I have SpeedFan too, and it shows me 52 as well. Can this harm my PC? Also, what can I do about this?

Thanks!
 
Solution
it is possible that is not a real temperature, i wouldn't be much concerned about that but is good to keep an eye on it to see if it suddenly start to report weirded values and they turn to be real

some temperatures on those lists are not real, other are incorrect

since it sounds like a chipset, area of the mainboard all you can do if it is real is to keep good airflow inside your case, do you have fans moving cold air in and pushing hot air out?

"AUX" could be an unused input on the sensor chip, if that is the case it will read invalid values and it can be ignored.
The only thing it could get that hot are the MOSFET transistors (little black boxes on the left side of your CPU), if you overclocked your system. I would manually check their temperatures, just to be safe.
