CaneMan Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I have just change my motherboard from a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, which showed the NB temperature. It does not show in AIDA64 for the Asus MB. Does the Asus MB have a NB sensor? I am using the latest Beta 1728 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 AFAIK Asus P8Z68 series motherboards are not capable of measuring their north bridge or south bridge temperature. In fact, Z68 chipset has no north bridge at all, but only a single south bridge chip (PCH). Regards, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why I asked is that both NB and SB are shown in the Chipset description, as shown below. North Bridge: Intel Sandy Bridge-DT IMC South Bridge: Intel Cougar Point Z68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence its temperature is listed as CPU temperature on the Sensor page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaneMan Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 That NB is the IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) component of your CPU. Hence its temperature is listed as CPU temperature on the Sensor page Would that be the CPU or the CPU Package.

Fiery Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 "CPU" is the temperature measured by the sensor chip, while "CPU Package" is measured by the CPU itself using its on-die temperature diode. "CPU Package" should be the more accurate reading. "CPU IA Cores" and "CPU GT Cores" are also measured by the CPU itself, and show the temperature of the processing cores and the integrated GPU respectively.
