an unknown motherboard sensor£ AsRock x670e PG lig

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Dear Community members.

I just purchased x670e pg lightning. I realize this MOBO has two temperature sensors, labeled sensor#1 and sensor#2. 
I believe sensor#2 is CPU temperature by comparing its value between different applications.

I dont know what sensor#1 is detecting. It has a weird value which is ~13 degree celsius, meanwhile my room temperature is ~28 degree and CPU is ~60 degree celsius.
I wonder if this is a faulty MOBO, if so I need to arrange a replacement ASAP.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

	Generally, 3rd party monitoring apps don't read all of a board's sensors correctly. If you use ASRock's own monitoring app it will show you correct readings and only show you sensors that are actually meant to be read by monitoring software. Some sensors exist for the board's use to control things like fans etc and are not meant to be read as they don't give values that make sense to monitoring apps.
