Hello everyone.

Now that summer is almost here temps on my mobo are going up. My problem is I can't tell which sensor is for which component. Via686B-2 is for the CPU, that I figured out. But MBM 5 shows two other sensors as Via686B-1 & -3. One of them is riding right along in it's usual 21.7/22.6C range. The other went from 21.7 to 27.7 in the past two days! I really need to know which parts of the mobo the -1 & -3 are, and where the other 2 fan-speed sensor plugs are too. I'd like to work on cooling the hot one down but I have no idea whether it is -1 or -3. There's no "sensor map" at either the Iwill FAQ or in the manual. If you help I'll promise to name my first born after you.

Eternally greateful . . . Number Six

sensor 1 could be a random system temp "measurement' from somewhere on the mb, typically either to the left or right of the PCI slots...

Sensor 3 is probably a motherboard chipset temp reading, taken from a thermistor slightly off from the northbridge chip.
