THe heck with what programs say for temps... Sisoftsandra says my motherboard is running at 127'C.... that would be meltdown... then it says my CPU is only 32'C... wanna tell me how my CPU is only 32'C but my motherboard is 127'C?

Anyway, my point, don't trust software for temps, look in your BIOS, they're the only truly accurate numbers. If your CPU is below 50'C.. no worries at all... if the case is below 30'C.. again, no worries at all. Now those aren't set in stone numbers either, a little variance isn't gonna kill anything.
