They're just blazin' 24/7 TLDR they aren't real. My guess is that they are unconnected but the BIOS is too dumb to notice that the sensors aren't there and the EMF in the case is inducing a charge which the chipset is interpreting the voltage detected as absurd temps. Overall my guess is a dying mobo. Sucks, but in a PC of that age it's not unexpected. Unfortunately you're kinda SOL on replacing it, but a 12100F based upgrade should run 300USD but it'll double your RAM and have a pretty great upgrade path. There is an outside chance the GPU is dying, you can run furmark and double check that there are no major graphics glitches. but 8yrs is a FUCK of a long time for a PC to live
