Funny thing, these temperature readings. Check the readings at this forum:
http://www.mediasmartserver.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1565
Deeper in the post is a bunch of pictures of temperature ranges using three different ways: Everest ultimate, the MSS hardware console readings, and speedfan. I also ran the MSS on full CPU and put a fan on the CPU heatsink.
So what ARE the temperature readings actually reading? Who knows? I think that a few of speedfan temps are not actually reading anything as they stay the same.

I have a thread running over on MediaSmartServer.net concerning SpeedFan and am trying to resolve exactly what the six temperature sensors are that are reporting in my EX475.
One, from AMD K8 "Core", is obviously the CPU -- but I need to add 6C to it to get the temperatures to agree. Obviously this is in the bottom of the case, in the CPU, and should control the lower fan.
One is from the LM75 SiSx30 SMBus "Tem". This just showed up for the first time following a re-boot yesterday. Where is this located?
One is from the ACPI "Temp1". Where is this sensor?
The remaining three are from the IT8712F, Temp1", Temp2", and "Temp3". I had originally thought these were for my three disks but it is becoming more obvious they are not. Again, where are these sensors located?
I'd love to get some development feedback on the locations of these sensors and how they relate to the temperatures reported in the Hardware Status (in theSettings). Anyone able to assist?

agreed with above, speedfan reads temps weird, it does pick up the cpu and case temp but there are a couple one being a minus number. personally i will wait for the update. i dont want to read every probe just the internal cpu and system.
if it wasnt a home system i would expect intake and exhaust temps too.

The "system" temperature sensor has been located and verified. Details, including a picture, can be found here (look for posts by Yakuza on 15 July 2008):

The sensor is at the top of the backplane and the A/D converter is on the motherboard. There is an analog signal being passed down the backplane, across the connector and onto the motherboard. It doesn't take much to have a "dirty contact" and, as a result, an erroneous temperature reading. There are a couple verified cases where units were showing erratic (or erroneous) system temperatures after RAM/CPU upgrades and the "wiping" action of removing/replacing the backplane cleaned the contacts sufficiently to get a good connection.
