My mobo has 2 temp sensors, I've always assumed that they're case and cpu, but it occured to me recently that the one I thought was case temp is consistantly up around 40 C, when the room is no where near that temp. This lead me on to thinking that I've had no temp drop on that sensor when I've moved from a cheapo case with a home mod 80mm side intake and no exhaust (single fan psu) to a new Antec superLANBoy with 120mm in and 120mm out and a dual fan psu. So I'm thinking that the sensor isn't actually case temp. Also my other comp reads case temp around 18-19 c which seems more likely.
So as a further test I've been running with my side pannel off all morning and there has been absolutely no change in that temperature reading. (Cpu temp has dropped 2 degrees though).
So what is that second reading? Northbridge temp maybe?
