Just built a PC with an MSI Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON AC. PC runs fine, can play games just fine, but after a while I noticed that the case fan was unusually loud. I checked temperatures and was surprised to see both Corsair Link and Speccy reporting my motherboard at 110 degrees idle. CPU is at 30 idle, GPU is at 45 idle, and 6 of 7 temperatures from Corsair Link are fine, but that one (temperature 3) is so high I can only imagine its a faulty reading. Interestingly BIOS reports it at only 30, but it only shows 1 temperature as opposed to 7 like Corsair Link (I assume these are temperatures at different locations on the board?), and I couldn't find more than that one temperature for the mobo in the BIOS . Assuming it is a faulty reading, it wouldn't bother me so much except it causes my case fan to run needlessly loud. So in the hopes of addressing a faulty reading, I updated the BIOS to the latest version, but am still getting that same reading. I'm not sure what to do about it at this point.
