Does anybody out there know where the MB temp sensor on this board is located?

CPU diode (its in the CPU itself)

CPU diode presumably shows the CPU temperature.
I'm looking for the position of the MB (MotherBoard or System) sensor...

I would also like to know the answer to this one. I asked this question awhile back when I had my P4C800-E. Noone knew the answer.

I'm curious too, my sys temps are pretty high right now and I don't think they're accurate. They've always been a tad high.

I think it has to be around the northbridge somewhere. I just put an old aluminum ThermalRight heatsink on the NB with a low speed fan and system temps are 2-3C lower than with stock and no fan. I will take a closer look tomorrow to see if I can see a thermistor there. The CPU is watercooled so this is the only fan at board level btw.
