In SisSoftware Sandra under Temperature Sensors, there is "Power/Aux Temperature 21C." Is this the temperature in the power supply?
Thanks.

Only if your PS is monitored by the motherboard/BIOS. Sandra tends to provide less than fully correct information on settings that it displays as fact. I deleted my copy long ago...

All windows programs that report temps are able to see and read the motherboard sensors, but are only able to guess at which sensor is which. Not only that, but your mobo may have a sensor that is not attached to a probe, so its temp is just bogus. 21C could be bogus. Sandra doesn't know.

If you are into it, go to http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ and download mbm5 and also look at their mobo list to find out exactly what sensors you have on your board.
