Re: [lm-sensors] Config for Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L

Well, it seems , that under load in7 slightly drops from 12.46 to 12.36 to 12.30
,tested by running double glxgears which puts strain on cpu and graphics
and simultaneusly scaninng DVD disc which puts dvd device spinning.
(PSU is non-branded 450W which should have large drops of voltages,and makes it easier for this testings)

That would suggest in7 is +12V and in4 is something else 
and i may have a clue what it is :)

There is an option on this motherboard , connected to overcolcking
called "FSB overvoltage controll".
It is placed in bios submenu "MB Intelligent Tweaker ,and by
means of elimination other two options "CPU voltage ctrl" and "DDR2 overvoltage ctrl"
is only one to remain. It is not shown in BIOS ,and i have not looked at EasyTune utilities.
So presumption is in4=FSB voltage.

as it reads in manual for this option:
---------
FSB overvoltage control
Allows you to set the Front Side Bus voltage
-- Normal    Supplies  the FSB voltage as required (default)
-- +0.1V ~ +0.3V Increases FSB voltage by 0.1V to 0.3V at 0.1V increment
---------

In course of this testing i've discovered that my northbridge is quite hot
with or without graphics running .
On touch northbridge is hot , southbridge is milde ,and CPU is rather cold.
The same as noticed here in these threads

Unfortunately motherboard does not seems to have sensor for northbridge :(
Will it be helpfull for northbridge if hsf on cpu is made to be running faster? 

And earlier ticket about this series of mobo's was here
