DIMM 3,4 proximity sensor indicating high temperature

hi,
I’ve been having high fan’s rpm for a long time.
After installing Macs Fan Control 1.4.11 I’ve realised that the DIMM 3,4 Proximity sensor is showing more than 85º C or more always. Even after a new boot upt.
I have 4x16gb RAM modules installed, but even with jus 2x modules in DIMM 1,2 it is still showing DIMM 3,4 proximity temperature really high.
What is or where is that sensor?
BTW. I tried to reset the SMC, but I’m not sure if I got it (I don’t know how to check if I had success with the reset). The steps I followed where:
Turn off
Unplug it for 15 seconds
Power it again
Turn it on after 5 seconds.
I’ve opened the Mac Pro and I’ve clean everything , even I replaced the thermal paste. Everything is less noisy, but that sensor has high temperature and I think is responsible for this issue.
Is it possible to know what are the threshold values of every sensor that the Mac is using for activating the fans?
A friend of mine who own the same machine seems to have higher threshold than mine because I can see lower rpm with much more CPU temperature.
