I'm still trying to work out why I can't get any overclock at all on my system and I notice that the "System" temp in EasyTune (or Temp 1 in Speedfan) is over 60C at idle and gets up to 65C under load testing. Does anyone know what that temp actually is?
What is the "System Temp" on a DS3P

T.A.T. reports the cpu core temperatures. I want to know what the temperature listed as System actually is, i.e is it the northbridge (seems unlikely as the northbridge is hotter than 60C) or is it some sensor elsewhere on the board, if so, where?
60C seems hot for a temp just on the board between the pci slots or similar.

Well, I was running without a system fan. Sticking one in drops that temp to 40C. There's no way it's the NB, as the NB heatsink is too hot to touch for more than a second. It must be a temp sensor sitting elsewhere on the board, but maybe near something hot.
