I have ECS K7S5A motherboard and AMD XP1800+. I use SiSoftware Sandra to get the motherboard infor. It shows Board Temp 5C, CPU 32C, Power/Aux Temp 49C. I thought System temp 32C and CPU temp 49C sound more reasonable. What maybe wrong here? Did I connect some wire to the wrong place?

Thanks a lot.

Sandra could be reporting it wrong....
You can check your temps in the bios and see how they matchup to the Sandra temps...Sandra may be mixing two sensors.

I will check it when I went back to home. I also installed VCool a software to cool CPU. It reads CPU 5C and System 32C! I think there much be something wrong here. Any other comments?

Thanks a lot.
