Epox 8K7A Temperature Sensors

[MajorKong]

How many sensors are on the 8K7A motherboard and where are they located. Ok, I know there's one under the CPU, but are there one or two others?

In Hardware Sensors Monitor, it displays three temperatures -- the CPU, the motherboard and one other. The CPU and system (actually labeled CPU1 and CPU2, by default in hmonitor) correspond to CPU and System temps shown in the BIOS. The other reading in hmonitor usually shows 25.0 C, but sometimes shows 24.0 or 24.5 C, making me wonder if there's a third. Since the system temp is usually about 30-33 C, I can't imagine where another sensor could be located that would read significantly lower temps. It just seems odd that hmonitor would show an actual value here, rather than 0 or somesuch.

I have no idea where the sensors are...but there are 3: one for the motherboard temperature...one for the ambient (case air), and one for the cpu

Well, that's cool. I wonder why they don't modify the BIOS, though, to display the third sensor? So, I'd guess the lower of the three, the 25.0 C temp must be the case air temperature, while the 33.0 C temp must be the mother board itself. It would certainly be interesting to find out where those other two are, however.
