I was looking through some stats in HWiNFO64 after a gaming session, and this caught my attention: All the other temps are reasonable, so is the sensor faulty or is there some crazy hotspot on my CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 3700X)? 120°C can't be good for a CPU, I'm a little bit worried now. Doing a quick 5 mins of CB R23 everything seems normal, so I hope everything will be fine for now.

It's possible, though probably not.
