what temp is this

its the northbridge and 82c is bad, id check with everest or HWinfo32

You can't just jump in with a crazy suggestion like that. 82C would kill most northbridges, especially at stock.

Does that temp ever change when you do anything?

It might not be a temp sensor at all. I sometimes find that temp reading programs pick up a diode as a sensor, and read some stupid reading like 82, 150, -74 etc. If you run Prime95 for a few seconds, and it still says 82, you can happily ignore that temperature.

Although - make sure your graphics card is getting sufficient air. If its your GPU at that, then you'd probably not get far in a game before it dies.Again, just start a game, and see if the temp goes up. If it doesn't change, you're safe.
 
ive got another temperature reading for the graphics card, that gets to 75 ish when gaming, tmpin4 on amd overdrive is reading -280 degrees... thats below absolute zero!!!
will the nb temp change noticably then?
 
I get the same reading in Hardware Monitor for TMPIN0. 82c. Goes to around 85c sometimes. Everest Ultimate Edition labels it as "Aux". I have no idea what that means.
 
If its 82, and occasionally goes to 85, i'd say its more than likely just a diode. Different voltage levels going through it may change its "reading" slightly...

@OP: what kind of cooler do you have on it at the moment? What board have you got? There is *no* northbridge that will run at 82°C.
Also, edit your posts rather than double posting. The Gods don't like double posts.

I assumed as much. I read it was the northbridge, southbridge or mofsets. I don't think any of the threads I did find about it actually had a clue. I've gotten the same reading on an Asus laptop as well. TMPIN0 being the one reading high. One commentor on a thread mentioned rolling back his bios sorted it out, albeit not an Asus, which I'll get around to doing later. See if there's a new one available and try it and if not find one that works. The read outs from everything else seem perfectly fine so I'm not particularly concerned about it. For the record, here's the everest readout:

Temperatures:
Motherboard 30 °C (86 °F)
CPU 29 °C (84 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #1 29 °C (84 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #2 28 °C (82 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #3 36 °C (97 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #4 36 °C (97 °F)
Aux 84 °C (183 °F)
GPU Diode (DispIO) 38 °C (100 °F)
GPU Diode (MemIO) 36 °C (97 °F)
MAXTOR STM380815AS [ TRIAL VERSION ]

I'd just love to know what the hell "Aux" is and WHY it reads so high and appears to do so across all my Asus machines.

its a just got the stock cooler on, is this sufficient?
