Rogue Leader:
What are your peak temperatures on the HW monitor during gameplay when experiencing this problem?
The maximum temps during CSGO are around 60 degrees, slightly lower in Firestrike and Dark Souls. With Prime95 they increase to 68-69 degrees.
My current configuration includes:
ASUS P5E-K Deluxe (BIOS 1305)
Q9550 (currently 3739mhz @ 1,288 volts)
Noctua U9B with one 92mm fan
4x2GB DDR2 OCG Gold PC2-6400 (running 5-5-5-18 @ 1.85 volts, 880MHz)
Zotac GX680AM Edition 2GB
2x64GB Kingston V300 SSD @ RAID 0
2x1TB RAID 0
Fractal Design R4 with 2x140mm fans blowing air into the chassis and 1x140mm fans blowing hot air out.
Rohtori :
There is an image of hwmonitor after, about 20 minutes into csgo. If HWMonitor isn't reading voltages properly, it's likely other readings won't work either. You might want to use another tool like Speccy or Open Hardware Monitor. It seems your CPU doesn't hit 6421 MHz and the +12V can't be 9.646V since the PC wouldn't even start.
I understand you're upset about the monitor numbers being incorrect. I recommend using another program as suggested by GhislainG.
Whoa, whatever AUXTIN is, it's extremely hot; your motherboard might be throttling to protect other parts, such as the VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules). Try lowering the voltage to help reduce those temperatures.
GhislainG shared some observations about the situation. Rohtori provided a link to an image of HWMonitor after 20 minutes of CSGO playtime. If HWMonitor isn't reading voltages properly, it's likely other readings won't be accurate either. It might be better to use alternative tools like Speccy or Open Hardware Monitor. The CPU clearly doesn't reach 6421 MHz, and the +12V reading seems unrealistic since the PC wouldn't even start. I understand those numbers might not be correct, but without any other input, they appear accurate. CPU clock speed remains stable at 2830MHz during gameplay. Now I have BIOS stock settings, and CSGO FPS is between 120-250. Both Speccy and Open Hardware Monitor display the same values as HWMonitor.

Whoa, whatever AUXTIN is, is way too hot; your motherboard may be what is throttling to save some other component, like the VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules). Lower your voltage to try to bring those temps down.
Make sure your PCI buss speed is locked at 100MHz; going higher may eventually introduce errors which, if not causing crashes, causes a lot of retries that will slow your system down. That temp though, if even remotely accurate, is into potentially lethal territory. If you remove your OC entirely, what is that temp?
found this, read below.
In Hardware Monitor, if Aux is being read from an unassigned input, then just ignore it. In SpeedFan, Aux can simply be disabled, and therefore ignored. My Aux temperature is currently 17c, which isn't possible, since ambient is 25c. I've seen it vary from -19c to 127c, which means it's an unassigned input from the super I/O (Input/Output) chip on the motherboard. It's a common anomoly.
the temp stays same even when stock speeds and volts, even after bios battery removed and put back, and loading factory defaults
Then, that's a positive update regarding the temperature. However, in your OC configurations, ensure the PCI bus remains fixed at 100MHz (so it stays constant even if your FSB increases).
