No there is not. But the motherboard designer should tell ppl which ones are which?

I'd just be happy if they'd tell us what all those BIOS settings mean.

The latest Athlons do, but earlier ones such as my XP 2500+ do not. IIRC, the motherboard has a sensor inside the CPU socket.

Yep, and if a check of the heatsink temperature reads *higher* than what the software tells you, then you KNOW it is wrong.

Have a hunt around the web. There are some awesome sites dedicated to informing you of bios options and what they do.

A freeware monitoring program that doesn't understand your particular machine's motherboard?

Correction: Earlier socket A AMD CPUs didn't have the diode, but my Athlon XP does. Despite this, many motherboard manufacturers chose to place a sensor inside the CPU socket. I don't know what the practice is today, though.

"Unfortunately, most motherboard manufacturers don't make this temperature available via monitoring software. Usually, an in-socket thermal sensor is used where the temperature is some 10°C below that of the thermal diode. If you can get a thermal sensor that is small enough to tape in the center of the processor on the underside, this is an ideal alternative as AMD quote temperatures measured in such a way are within 2°C of the internal diode."
