A little help please ASUS 970 Pro Gaming Sensors

I need to identify this sensor on my motherboard. It says CPU under the motherboard listing so is that the CPU Socket or the VRM reading? I kknow the CPU readings above are good I just need to know it the one below the motherboard listing named CPU in red is the Socket or VRMs lol been driving me nuts for a few months now.

That one should be the CPU sensor, not VRM.

Awesome lol that means I need to figure out some cooling for the socket on the back side of the mobo or get a bigger water solution for the chip!

Don't rely too much on the AMD CPU temperature: https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/threads/cpu-core-temperature-measuring-facts-fictions.148/

For me it makes sense, that

• "CPU Temp" = temperature of CPU
• "CPU" = temperature on motherboard near CPU & near VRM

Because "CPU" is highest temperature, sensor should be "at least near VRM" (maybe VRM), because VRMs

• are typically near CPU and
• are the hottest part on a motherboard

Yea that figures for AMD, I hope Ryzen is better but no idea there yet. On to my next set of issues, here is my list of voltages for the motherboard listing. I am curious mainly to my 3VSB its reading out at much more than 3V lol. Sorry if I need to start a new thread Martin. . .

That's most probably an invalid readout.
