were is the m/board temperature read from on an i875 board?

is it from a sensor in the NB?

Should be from the cpu core sensor,but asus also has a probe to check for the reading.If it reaches 90C + it will shut down.If you have the ASUS probe monitor installed it is set at 75C I think to warn you.

which motherboard?

some tell you NB temp, some tell you mosfets temp (power management), some tell you both.
if the temp gets into the 40s under load its a mosfets temps.

Sharkmeat, I didn't mean the cpu temp which is read from a diode in the cpu core!
