Temperature reading parameter in MSI 970 gaming motherboard

[nirjharmistry]

Hi! It's been a week since I have built my first AMD based PC by ditching Intel. But so many questions were on my mind while I was monitoring CPU and other component temperature. I had used HwInfo64 and CPUID HWMonitor.

Here is a snapshot from my desktop at ideal condition

1. What is TEMPIN0, TEPMIN1 and TEMPIN2 in CPUID HWmonitor?
2. What is auxiliary and cpu0, cpu0 package temp stands for in HWinfo64?

maybe you could go to HWiNFO looking for the answer, Martin is nice and willing to help us

AFAIK, Fintek is the sensor chip on the motherboard, and the 3 temps under Fintek section-- CPU, Auxiliary, and Motherboard(or "system" shown in Command Center) is same as TMPIN0, 1, 2 in HWmonitor, they just detect them from the same sensor chip.
About CPU 0 temp you can check this:

Some says that auxiliary and tempin1 actually represents the Northbridge temperature, but some are saying that it's different for each motherboard.
