Just a quick question: I'm getting my Iwill KK266 very soon and was wondering about the temperature monitoring features of these motherboards.
The question is, if the temp. sensors are located on the board and not the CPU, how does this in any way accurately report the processor temperature? Doesn't this just report the ambient temperature near the CPU? This could be affected by any number of things, not the least of which includes air flow paths over the sensors which do not flow over the CPU/heat sink.
Does this make any sense, or am I way off base?
