    Well, 127°F = 47.2...°C, so my guess is that the program natively displays in Farenheit, rather than what most modders use, Celcius.

    What motherboard are you using? I built a computer for my friend using an Asus A7N8X and one of the probes said a temperature was 125c. Obviously this was wrong or else i would doubt the system would boot :D

    A P4 can apparently run at that temperature (I've seen a video somewhere of a p4 that boots windows right up to 130c and then shuts off). I'd check your cooling and see if it makes any difference.

    Just check that the software is configured for the correct sensors and probes in your setup, as this happened to me (in MBM software) and I managed to get a readout of 117ºC :eyebrow: , however once set to the correct probe/sensor I got a 32ºC temp readout.

    It was probably right. ITs an A7n8x. A piece of junk destined to fry your CPU

    its an MSI K7N2 DELTA-ILSR and it is set to display in celcius, ive also used MBM 5 which says the same thing, i tried MBM 5 on all available sensors and it either came up with 0 or 127

    Update your MSI Mobo bios. My MSI bios showed dodgy temps till I updated it and that sorted it out #(as well as fixing some memory timmings)

    CM-710 is a good case. Get one, you won't regret it :)
