Temperature Sensors
I have a Giga-Byte GA 7n400 Pro 2 Motherboard. When I configured MBM5 to show the third thermal sensor (named: ITE8712F-3) it came up with a temp of 74 degrees. does anyone know what this sensor is monitoring, and if so, is that temperature likely correct. A full description of my system is in my profile. curren cpu/case temps are 47/32.
Rusty: it also has a -diode reading, which upon trying gives a reading of -79 degrees. However by default MBM lists ITE8712F-2 as the CPU temperature. When i switch to ITE8712F-2 Diode it drops about 3 degrees.
burcakb: MY sig isnt exactly accurate. The CPU fan isnt at 5V, and the two case fans are running off of the FAN only connector on the PSU, so if the temps were too high they should ramp up. Also it is a 2500 mobile so it starts off cooler (30 watts lower output).

if that is in celsius and that is ur northbridge.. lol.. u'd being experiencing many problems.. notwithstanding that u might lose a MB. if that is ur case temp then ur in for shortened lifespan.. wat i would do is to cool ur computer or have it open and see if that temp changes. btw.. can describe in more details.. like is the air coming out ur computer hot? is ur heatsink on CPU situated right? does ur heatsink feel hot? does ur northbridge feel hot.. find the diode on ur motherboard.. remember to get rid of static first...
So i've come to the conclusion that the sensor is not the CPU temp, mainly because when i first boot the board and the bios is showing me the temps, they are more in line with what sensor 2 is showing. I do think it is the northbridge, considering that on this model it is passivly cooled versus past models on which it was actively cooled.
