ASRock Fatal1ty B450 GAMING-ITX MotherBoard Temps

Here you can see the pale blue line (TMPIN5) goes from 65C @ idle to 122C rapidly when OCCT is running. Then instantaneously to 57C and stays there until I stop the stress test. The temperature then goes in the 40s and won't ever go above 57C if I start a test again. I have to close all HWmonitor and OCCT and reopen them to be able to see the real temperate (65C).

Hey I haven't been able to find anywhere what is TMPIN5 for. My TMPIN6 is also constantly between 113-116C which from what I understand now is not a problem. But when I stress test the CPU TMPIN5 can reach 115C or more. I'd like to know if this is the VRM and if it is normal or not.

Current HWMonitor is Version 1.40 from March 2019

You can thank spammers for that, they figured out that we were deleting posts that contained links not pertinent to tech so they made seemingly relevant posts and then came back the next day and edited in their spam links (buy your nike shoes here for example). It made it next to impossible to notice once they had scrolled off the recent post list. So now, no more hot linking and no more edit function. This is by design to make my life easier and keep the community safe from potentially harmful links. Back in the day all you had to worry about were bots that spammed a half dozen or so posts with BS in them, now we have actual human spammers that get paid to abuse forums. End result, not as easy to thwart....

As for the sensors, if it isn't detected as high with ASRock's own utility then it is an error in the monitoring app. Install the ASRock tuning utility for your board and have a look at what that tells you, so long as no temps are overly high there, you are fine.

As far as I know, very high temperatures like this can indicate a bad or not connected sensor, or sometimes the temperature is just not read correctly by HW Monitor. But you didn't give much information. What overclock do you have? Also, do you really have 1.8 V on the DRAM!? This is dangerously high!
