It keeps slowly varying in the 72-76 degrees C range. I'm afraid hardware isn't really my domain, so even though I do have the document it doesn't make much sense to me. What I do gather from from the technical specs (http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dg31pr/sb/e14051001us.pdf) is that there are thermal sensors in the CPU(s), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH7) and the Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH). If I correlate that information with the sensors-detect output and eliminate the core temperatures, it seems that the 76 degrees C is in the ICH7 (though I could be totally wrong). In any case, from experience, is a temperature of 76C in the ICH or the GMCH a cause of concern? If this is in the normal range for motherboard temperatures I'll stop worrying about my system running hot right now :) If it looks high, I'll ask my hardware supplier to check the board out for faults.
