Re: Defective Mobo - What to do?
SelfGovern, remember MBwoes is using an AMD processor and chipset board. AMD processors do not have the same max temperature ratings that Intel processor do, such as the 80C and 100C you quoted above. Given what I have read, 70C for a FX-8350 is a hard maximum.
If the processor temperature is 50C in the BIOS, that is rather high IMO, and indicates a stock CPU cooler. We also have no idea what the CPU fan speed configuration is in the BIOS, not to mention everything else. Given the recent description of the PC case cooling in this thread (hardly any, which is after adding fans...), the PC's cooling is lacking.
The "Psensor" readings or graphs are virtually impossible to translate into which readings are which without more information. If that software does recognize the 8350, and is creating temperature alarms, then excessive heat is an issue here.
This board has software for reading CPU and other temperatures, ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility has that as part of its features. Free to download on the board's download page, and all readings will be labeled correctly. If the fans being used in the case are not connected to fan headers on the mother board, their speed cannot be displayed by any software.
There are many other good hardware monitoring programs, like HWiNFO: HWiNFO, HWiNFO32/64 - Download
Given the OP's comment about the faulty temperature sensor, etc, his PC building experience is wanting, sorry to say.
