    Hello, I've recently installed SiSoftware Sandra and ran a Mainboard information test when to my suprise there were a few temperatures in my system that seemed a little excessive pointing to areas unknown to me.

    The first one would be the PCI/Aux <-What is this thing? The southbridge would be my guess since it says PCI. The temperature on the thing says 56 degrees C or 132.8 degrees F. That is a little too hot for me, so says my finger when it's touching the southbridge.

    The second one would be the Power/Aux <-Huh... PSU? The thing says it is 41 degrees C or 105.8 degrees F - these temperatures don't bother me too bad but I'm wondering where do these temps come from.

    My motherboard is a Soyo Dragon 2 Platnium Edition. These temperatures/areas are kind of a concern to me since my processor temperature is lower than they are. Once I know where these areas are, I need to go buy some heatsinks and adhesive thermal paste. :brrr:

    Thank you.
