I just purchased an X9SCL+-F motherboard. The Super Doctor III reported 3 temperatures (CPU, Peripheral and System). What components of the motherboard do Peripheral and System refer to? For example, is it the chipset temperature or the memory temperature? Also what are reasonable temperatures for Peripheral and System on a X9SCL+-F motherboard?
The system and peripheral temperatures represent the local inlet and outlet air temperatures on the motherboard, respectively. The reasonable temperatures for system and peripheral depend on chassis cooling designs and system operating or ambient temperatures. Based on the information provided, it is hard to tell what the reasonable temperature ranges are for system and peripheral temperatures.
