If you consistently notice temperature readings over 110°C on your Origin PC system, it’s important to know that some systems have sensors that may not be compatible with third-party temperature monitoring software. These sensors, which are not actively used by the system, can result in misleading or inaccurate readings.
Common Causes of Misleading Temperature Readings
- Incompatible Sensors: Some Origin PC systems include sensors that third-party software (like HWMonitor, SpeedFan, or Open Hardware Monitor) may misinterpret. This can result in false high-temperature readings, sometimes appearing as steady numbers above 110°C. These readings do not necessarily reflect the actual temperature of your system’s components.
- Unused Sensors: In specific systems, sensors not being used by the hardware can still appear in third-party monitoring tools, confusing the software with extreme or constant temperature readings.
How to Identify If the Readings Are Misleading
- Despite the high readings, suppose your system is not showing signs of overheating (e.g., system shutdowns, thermal throttling, or excessive fan noise). In that case, it’s likely the result of an unused or incompatible sensor.
- Verify the temperature using software provided by Origin PC to get a more accurate reading of your system’s temperature.
