I don't like using the utility that comes with the Gigabyte board to monitor my temperatures and things because it doesn't show enough information. So I decided to try Motherboard Monitor 5.
Only problem is that during the setup when it asked me to choose my motherboard model, my model wasn't listed. So I had to set the thing up manually.
There are 3 temperature readings that I am getting. I know what two of them are. The CPU is 21C at idle on the gigabyte utility so I know that the one reading 21C on mobo monitor 5 is the CPU sensor. Another sensor says 25C which I can also conclude is my chipset temp since the gigabyte utility displayed the same temperature. I have also been able to get the same reading for one case fan and my CPU fan.
There is only one thing I can't figure out. The last temperature reading says 70C. And I don't know what that sensor reading is for. Is there any part of my computer or motherboard that could reasonably be running at 70C? Maybe another chipset or something. I'm just curious as to what this 70C temperature is referring to.
