    they are quite a bit higher than my processor temps, and their are 2 of them, are they motherboard temp?

    there not always the same temp, only by 1 or 2 c though.

    Thanks

    John.

    Do you mean north and south bridge chipset temps? , or just overall board temps.

    ACPI means: Advanced Configuration & Power Interface.

    overall chipset temps.. they activate the fans if you have a single fan (not core/gpu temps)

    The actual location will depend on your motherboard. Different notebook manufacturers put them in different spots. Yours are probably close to your GPU :) I don't know why you have two of them (and apparently close together?)
