what is pwm

[romperstomper]

ok my temps are cpu 27c,gpu 57c
system 33c
pwm 44c

I understand the first 2 .

System is the general temp but where is the measurment taken from is it the overall mobo temp?

Pwm ......I've done a few searches but

thanks for any enlightenment

Pulse Width Modulation

most likely the psu

it's a part on the motherboard by ** cpu, will have a heatsink on it.

Pretty sure it isn't part of the PSU

I thought it was the north bridge shows how much i know.

Yep it's where V|per says it is although some boards don't have a heatsink. That area is generally called the pulse width modulation integrated circuit and on a lot of motherboards it's a typical hotspot so is useful to know how hot it's getting.

I'd say 44c is plenty cool though so nothing to worry about.

V|per did the CPU arrive yet mate? I expect it has and you can leave trust and I'll do same!?

It is a regulator on the motherboard that controls current flow in the CPU circuitry. It tends to run hot & so it usually has a sensor.

Get these on a GPU too I think

There is your answer romperstomper.
