7.3.3 Temperature Measurement Locations
The air temperature entering both sides of the CPU blower and a DRAM chip from the
top and bottom side of each bank of SO-DIMM is measured using thermocouples.
Intel’s motherboards have various system component temperature sensors. The
highest of the CPU DTS sensor values, the PCH die sensor, memory sensor, Hard Disk
Drive sensor, and the voltage regulator board temperature sensor values are recorded
during testing.
