Need Help figuring out what "Temp 2" is on my Mobo.

[Qweets]

Hey guys I keep noticing something in speedfan and other programs called "Temp 2" and its getting quite hot, I have an MSI P67A-G45 mobo with a core i5 2500k in it and 8gb of ram. I'm thinking its some sort of north or south bridge thing but I want to know if the temps its reaching are dangerous, I ran furmark and it got quite hot up to nearly 70c. Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

Random guess:
Your CPU temp?

Uhh the very first thing down at the bottom is the CPU socket temp.. Temp 2 is something else entirely.

Northbridge?

Northbridge?

Ok so if its that, is it ok that its that hot?

 

[Deltafan909]

If it is, from what I read below 80C is fine. I am not sure if that is what the temperature is though.

actually I read p67's don't have a northbridge its implemented into the CPU.

That's correct, I only looked at the picture in your first post haha. In that case, it could be your CPU socket temperature.
