hey guys...umm i have three sensors on my Gigabyte 7DX mobo
which one is supposed to be the sensor that most closely displays my cpu temps?

they say 21C 50C 29C respectively...i'm assuming the highest one is cpu temp?

also i have some case fans in my case...should the front case fan be blowing into the mobo area or sucking if the case fan in the back is sucking the air out? Thanks :D

50C would be your CPU temp.

Your CPU is far too hot considering your other temps. Check your HSF.

Your front FAN should be blowing in as it already is, so as to bring in cold air or "pressureize the system" - and the fan in the back takes the hot air from the CPU area and removes it from the system.

i don't think there is anything wrong with my hsf...my old intel cpu was the same as well...the cpu temp was always about 20-30 higher than the ambient temp...and i've haven't had any problems either
