Those are the thermal readings that the BIOS Setup (UEFI Setup) labels as EC_TEMP1 and EC_TEMP2. Previously we've put those readings among generic thermal readings (e.g. Temperature #1), but now they got their dedicated temperature slot in the AIDA64 hardware monitoring module.

What component are they monitoring the temperature of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I would use those for an external temperature sensor, for example? Looking around, I see both 10K and 100K thermistors. I am guessing it matters which I would use?

No thermistor cables, and no mention of thermistor headers in the manual, only voltage headers (Probe It). AIDA64 would not normally report non-existent sensors, would it?

EC1 and EC2 thermal readings are exclusive to Gigabyte motherboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
