My best guess from experience w/ Asus boards: temp1 is your M/B temp4 is your CPU Easiest way to confirm is to run some CPU intensive stuff (SETI at Home or kernel compile, etc.) and see which temp jumps first. That's the CPU. If your readings are off from the BIOS, you can adjust the compute lines in /etc/sensors.conf to compensate. Although, all of your readings above are within 3C and IMO that's good enough. Speaking generally, these mainboard sensors are not high precision anyway. We would appreciate if you send a copy of your /etc/sensors.conf after you finish tuning it for your board - as a reference for others with the same board. And finally, Asus Probe is nasty. Use MBM instead. Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
