Sometimes, the system mistakenly thinks BIOS readings are way higher than they actually are. I’m new to this forum, so I hope my explanation makes sense. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. The first time I noticed it, I took my machine to a repair shop, but they said it was running normally when it powered on. Just something I thought you’d find interesting.

For those concerned about unusual component choices, feel free to ask questions directed at the version of me from 2018 who didn’t have much computer knowledge.

Key details:
- CPU: Intel core i7-7800x 3.50 GHz
- Hard Drive: 1TB WD Caviar Blue 3.5" 7200RPM
- HDD: Corsair Hydro Series H60 120MM
- Case: Standard CyberpowerPC branded
- Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60 120MM
- Power Supply: ATNG 800W 80 Plus Gold
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5
- OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
- RAM: GEIL 8GBx4 DDR4-3000
- Motherboard: Asus TUF X299 Mark 2

What’s happening: On startup, a BIOS warning appears about CPU fan speed. In BIOS, the thermometer shows temperatures that seem off—rising slowly to a peak of about 94°C. This likely triggered the fan speed error because the cooler was working hard to compensate. At the same time, the AIO pump fluctuates wildly between normal and extreme speeds (over 19,000 RPM), which is clearly unrealistic. All these issues became apparent in an image I attached.

After some trial and error—turning it on/off, resetting connections—I managed to get it back up. Once it was working again, everything looked normal. What’s unusual is that after restarting, nothing changed; no BIOS changes, no different connections.

I got the temperatures from the weather service. The last thing I did was check the forecast.

I was checking temperatures via the BIOS and HWiNFO, and each time this occurred, it was after performing the same routine—basic web surfing, gaming, and rare 3D projects.

The most recent adjustment that unexpectedly resolved the issue might have been an automatic update, which actually fixed the problem. Machines aren't living things—just tools that can fix themselves when needed.

To the best of my understanding, I likely resolved a problem with a plug, or it might have been an automatic update. Beyond that, I don’t have any further details.

It’s fair. What matters is getting things right. I think there might be a faulty AIO sensor. A little suspicion and a dollar won’t buy you a cup of coffee here. — Bombastinator, edited Oct 22, 2022
