</div>Unfortunately there are a number of issues that can make this<br>
confusing. First these sensors aren't very accurate. Second the<br>
lm-sensors software needs to be configured properly for a given<br>
sensor/chip. It may be off by some constant offset, etc. Third, the<br>
generic temperature labels make it hard to tell what sensor they go<br>
with. Your reasoning is right though. The temperatures will be highest<br>
at the core and go down as you move to the heatsink and case etc. The<br>
k8temp sensors are the ones on your processor. Usually for each core<br>
you have a core and a case temperature (CPU casing temp not the PC<br>
case). The core temp is in the actual core and will be your highest<br>
temp. The case temp is measure outside the core but in the CPU<br>
package. So that is why you have two temps for each core.<br>
<br>
It is tougher to say what temps the it8716 are referring to. The fact<br>
that temp1 is higher than your core temperature implies it is not<br>
calibrated/caculated correctly or it is measuring something else.<br>
Temp2 looks like it is close to the CPU case temperature. Temp3 looks<br>
in the right ball park for the motherboard or PC case temp. You can<br>
get some clarification by using 'watch sensors' and then loading the<br>
processor with something like cpuburn. Then see how the temperatures<br>
change under load and see which one line up with the k8temps. When<br>
most people give their CPU temps that are referring to the CPU case<br>
temp. So your looks like it is around 40C. So you are fine.<br>
