Because of this blue "resistor" in the center of the CPU ZIF socket, Pentium can not be installed properly and wobble in my opinion with not 100% contact. As I am careful with my hardware, I have not yet bent it. Does anyone know the problem with the GA-5AX?

You can bend it slightly towards the PCB with your finger. The leads are pretty thick so it will give some resistance to force but should not break. Don't bend it too much because it will cause an air gap between it and the CPU, and the temperature reported will be lower.

I think it has become a little clearer. I never noticed a temperature display in the BIOS. (That's why I never had a sensor in mind) Now that we have talked about the sensor in the center of the ZIF, one setting in the BIOS is more logical: PM Monitoring - CPU Temperature. Here you can define the temperature threshold at which the CPU is throttled. In my case it is set to Auto. I would just like to read out the sensor via software, which I have not been able to do using the usual tools.
