Hello, I have a MSI X99s Sli mobo, and bar the GPU the new build is complete... Running some setup on it with an old 8600GT I've come into a problem.
Both CorsairLink and CPUID HWMonitor display "Cputin" at 126°C. Now I'm pretty sure it is an error. My question is, how do I FIX it? I plan to OC so want as accurate as I can get with readings.
I've tried:
Updating Bios, and Management engine.
Clearing Cmos.
Updating all DRIVERS.

Not really sure what else to try. I'd rather not just live with it if I can resolve the issue I would like to.

Specs: Msi x99s Sli plus, (bios 1. Cpu: 5820k (Not o/c) H100i GTX stock fans. Evga supernova 1000 G2. 8600GT Gpu. Windows 8.1. 250GB SSD/2TB HDD.

Overclocking though with inability to watch the CPU temp though is risky. I have seen where some hardware monitor software doesn't work with certain boards though and you can go into the BIOS and see the CPU temp there. However the problem with the BIOS CPU temp is that your CPU is idle when its reading the temp. If you see 0 or an INSANE temp in the BIOS for temp then the THERMOCOUPLE is likely damaged and its unable to report. If your in a situation where you must overclock and don't want to have a melt down, I'd go with liquid cooling or a really good heatsink that can draw the heat away and then overclock and you should be ok. Be sure you have fresh thermal compound as well to be sure that the thermal transfer between CPU surface and heatsink are as good as can be as well so that you don't have a CPU that roasts with inability to transfer the heat from its surface to the heatsink surface.All the other temps seem to read fine, it's just that one. I've seen reports of the problem just never a certain fix, perhaps there isn't one.

When I go to Bios is says temp is low 30's. I'm assuming that is okay, usually a bit higher temps then when Idle in windows, but only by a few °'s, I think it got to 39 once in bios, never higher.
 Your screenshot doesn't seem to show, at least on my end.

it's common for some sensors to display crazy values, usually 127 degrees, as they're not actually connected or reading anything at all.  Does HWMonitor not show you a reading from the CPU itself?  It should show you one reading per core really, I've just taken a shot of mine to compare.

Attached a file to make it easier. It does show other temps and they all seem fine. (At least to me, someone here might see an issue I'm not aware of )
It's just that one, which although I know is an error, having it show up in HWM and Corsair Link just bothers me and was hoping I could fix it to give an accurate reading.
