I just put together a new HTPC based around a Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra9 motherboard (socket 939, Nforce4 ultra).
I installed Speefan so i could monitor temps and see waht was going on. Speefan seems to detect and reports temperature off the mobo sensors. However, I'm having trouble understanding the results.
It says I have the temp chipset "IT8712F" with a total of 3 temp sensors (temp1,2,3). I have no idea what they correspond to on the motherboard. My current readings (not very high load) are:
Temp1 = 25 Celcius
Temp2 = 32
Temp3 = 70!!
I'm trying to figure out what temp3 sensor corresponds to. I'm guessing the CPU but can't fathom why it would be so high. It's an AMD 3500+ winchester, and I have artic silver ceramique heat paste with a HUGE Zalman 7700 heatsink on it (modified with a 92mm Nexus fan to replace the stock Zalman 92mm fan for noise reduction).
Granted, the 92mm Nexus fan I modified the CPU cooler with doesn't push as much air as the stock Zalman fan, but no way shoudl I be getting 70 celcius!
Unless there is either something wrong with Speedfan's detection, or temp3 doesn't correspond to the CPU. If it's the latter I have no idea what it would correspond to, because I thought CPU was typically the hottest thing in the system.
Any insight would be appreciated!
