Are you sure it's a CPU sensor?

Well it's pretty safe to say it's not accurate given that I don't think you would hit that temperature even at the South Pole. It is either a faulty sensor on the motherboard or possibly you need to update the bios. You might check the temp in your bios and see what it says. If it says the same thing then I would try to update the bios and see if that cures it. If it has the correct temp then it's probably a software issue.

i have the same thing in speedfan with my e2160 i just ignore it

Try Coretemp and trust it. Speedfan and others use the temps supplied my the mobo makers. They are innacurate. CT reads the code from the inside of the chip directly.

One things for sure, you can't just run speedfan and assume you have the right temp for the right sensor. When you first run speedfan, you need to figure out what it exactly sees, and label it.

I mean, how do you know what sensor its showing temp1 temp2 temp3 for example.

If it says just Core, more then likely its the GPU temp.

Now if it said Core0 or Core1, then... ya, somethings wrong. :lol:
