I have twoquestions regarding the temperature readings of the Epox 8RGA+

1. Is the CPU sensor reading the temps correctly? I'm running with a watercooled rig from Asetek named Waterchill on an AMD XP3000+, and my full load temp during Prime is 49C (this is with the CPU running stock). I think this is a bit much.

2. When installing MBM I find three temp sensors... I know two of them are for the CPU and chipset, but what about the last one? (maybe case temp?)


thanks!
 
Your CPU temp seems a bit high for the watercooled setup, what temperature BIOS shows?
Third sensor is not connected to anything and on my motherboard it shows really weird temperatures in range from 15° to 46°, somehow depending from the CPU fan speed.
 
That could be a bit high. My 8RGA+ is showing 39-40C load with a case temp of 30-31C. Its a 2600+ with an SLK800-U and 50CFM 80mm fan. Maybe you should check your system, thats a bit high for water.

And I think there are only two sensors on this board, unless it can read the diode, which I haven't heard.
