Aux burning up!

[MRiddle]

I just finished my first computer build. No overclocking or anything was involved. I downloaded a program called EVEREST home edition. It can check the temperature of all the pieces of my computer. This is what it says:

Motherboard: 31C
CPU: 6C
Aux: 85C
GPU: 51C
GPU Ambient: 41C
Harddrive: 36C

Everything looks good other than the huge Aux reading. What could be causing that and how can I fix that? The computer hasn't shut down because of heat yet, and the computer seems to be working at optimal performance.

I definitely don't want to ruin my first computer build. Please, if you can help in any way, help.

First thing is to figure out what actually is the "AUX" temperature. You can do this yourself with a can of compressed air. With the side open, and somebody watching the AUX temp, carefully blow air slowly at various components.....like the North Bridge heatsink. The one that immediately starts to drop is where the AUX sensor is located.

After that you can actually measure the thing with a temperature probe.....see if that 85C is accurate. It might not be anything. Speedfan for instance sometimes picks up unknown "fake" sensor readings....usually reading 128C.

I played a resource heavy game online for about an hour, and checked my temperatures after and the CPU had gone up about 2-3 degrees, which still puts it below 10C. Everything else stayed the same.

I am worried about the Aux temp. but the computer seems to be working perfectly fine. I will try what you suggest Bluefront though.

Unless you live at the North Pole, that CPU reading is wrong. A reading can never be below room temp, unless the computer is in a freezer or something. Download Speedfan.....read the instructions on the program......it is usually very accurate.

Most CPUs idle aprox 30-40C.

I already downloaded Speedfan before, so here is what it says:

Temp1 (IT8712FJ): 85C (AUX I'm guessing)
Temp2 (IT8712FJ): 29C
Temp3 (IT8712FJ): 3-6C
Temp (LM75): 1C
HD0 (HD0 [250.1GB]): 39C
Temp1 (ACPI): 26C
Core (AMD K8): 40C - the processor I believe
Core (NVidia Video Card): 48C
Ambient (NVidia Video Card): 39C

Again, we see some decently cold temperatures for the LM75 and the IT8712FJ (third one). The first IT8712FJ is the high temperature, but the rest of the items are normal temperature.

yea u can just ignor temp 3, thats what i always do

You better just use your utility program on your motherboard CD for measuring temps.
