Another similar point.

On my 8kha+ the case temperature sensor is at the botton of the board under the PCI cards.

I used to have a Soundblaster live and my temperature was about 20*c.

I then changed to a SB 5.1 and my temperature jumped to 23*c
Just because the 5.1 chip gets damned hot.

If I play winamp for 15min my "case" temperature increases to 25*c.

My CPU temp is virtually unchanged.

Another example of totaly innacurate temperature measurment.
Well not so much innacurate, just un scientific.

Maybee I should put a HSF on my soundcard ... Hmmm.
