Aux sensor?

Thread Starter 
I use Everest Home Edition because of how awesome it is. It has a sensor page that shows all the temperature sensors in the computer as well as the fan rpms. It lists under sensors: Mothorboard, CPU, Aux, Fujitsu (the harddrive).

Now when I play battlefield, the CPU and Aux stay pretty consistant, but when I play Dawn of War, the aux shoots up to high 90's and sometimes 100 degrees Celsius. Before I didn't care what Aux was for cause it was always just a few degrees hotter than CPU. But I had one restart already (while running Dawn of War), and I don't know why (I'm assuming temperature of the Aux caused a shutdown.

What I'm curious is if anyone knows what the Aux sensor is measuring.

There was a thread about this. This sensor is exactly right below the LCD screen heeheh

Is there any other application, such as mobile meter or CHC that handle this sensor detection?

I know it's not in mobile meter or CHC, but I might have seen it in Sandra. My memory's a bit foggy, but I can tell you for sure when I get my computer back later today (it actually arrived yesterday, but I wasn't at home to sign for it. )

I don't actually think that we concluded that the AUX sensor was below the screen (or even existed at all). I look all around Everest’s forums and there were multiple threads stating that sometimes the AUX readings were completely bogus (meaning not even existing).

crap, i was hoping it was under the LCD.

At least it will give me some sort of reading of heat out of that GPU...

I guess not.
