What does the "Power/Aux Temperature" mean in Sisoft Sandra? Mine is at 81 deg C and that seems high for any temp. I was just stress testing a comp. I just put together. The CPU (tbred xp1700) is 39 C at idle and 49 C under full load which seems ok. Ideas?

It couldn't be case temp becuase thats way too high. I have a 1700XP running with a GC68 and it runs at 34 degrees idle so you are a little warm there.

I say don't worry about the temperture. I've seen different temps all around here ranging from high 30's to high 50's. My temp. in a program called Motherboard Monitor under load is always hitting 65C. No problems here for me.
