Hello forum people,

I'm using a Monitoring program and wonder whether the temperature shown for my CPU under the Motherboard TAB is to any importance. The temperature is way lower than the ones in the CPU TAB.

The CPU temperatures shown under it's own CPU temp TAB seem the be the important ones Core 0, Core 1, Core 2 and Core 3.

Anyone understands what the CPU temperature under the motherboard TAB stands for, overall heat or something?

Thanks in advance for any information given!

The MB temp if related to the CPU is no doubt the socket temp. Most boards have a sensor in the CPU socket. The CPU core temps are the important ones for you to be watching.
