Most 680I's only do Mobo (basically a sensor near Cmos Battery, well usually that location and its basically the PC case temp) and NB.

I know the Asus ones did not read SB Temps till the 780I.

You can use Asus's own PC Probe II or Everest + a few more.

Hmmm, do i really need to monitor my chipset temps when overclocking.?

the asus "Al Boost" states my System/mobo temp is at 29Oc :S

Again that's your PC CASE temp and Mobos for years tell you that.

Your 2 Chipsets esp on a Nvidia 680I are far hotter than 29C.

Red is the Critical 2, the Blue one is what every Mobo I have seen since years back has.
