SpeedFan

My temperatures are generally very good, but after installing speedfan on this new rig I've got, it says

Temp 1: 37
Temp 2: 96
Temp 3: 29
HD0: 27
Core: 8

All temperatures are in C, but I'm just curious as to what Temp 2 is, I've not had any system failures with this yet, and I've not had any error messages saying "your system is over heating" so to speak

I've worked out by using another temperature monitor that Temp 1 is system and Temp 3 is CPU aswell has HD0 being my Hard Drive.

Any idea's on what Temp 3 is?

Maybe your GFX card?

It could be, but on my old system I had "GPU" instead of Temp 3 :/

Almost certainly GPU - nothing but the CPU and graphics card are ever likely to get that hot - and the CPU would be having problems much above that.

It may be reading the sensor wrong.
Donwload HW monitor and GPU-Z and compare.

Second that, these programs do sometimes. SIS Sandra reads one of my temps as something ridiculous like -1400 degrees.
