Hi all,

Getting a bit confused about this one,
I normally use HWmonitor which seemed the most accurate program for a c2duo and c2quad
i used... but i'm confused with this one,

There's temps for each of the 3 modules TMPIN0,1, and 2
but the TMPIN1 is usually 10-15 degrees celsius hotter than the others,
and then there's the "assembly" temperature which seems the same or a bit cooler
than the coolest module...

should i refer to the hottest module as the temperature when overclocking?

well under CPU i get one temperature which presumably is the same as "assembly" in HWmonitor
And under ITE IT8728F i get 1, 2, and 3 which are the same as in HWmonitor,
2 being the hottest one by about 10c more than others now...
so those look like the cpu's modules to me not socket as you claim...
but correct me if im wrong,
also maybe the 6350 has a bit different monitoring than 8320 ?
