    I was wondering what the first two items were on CPUIDs hardware monitor. On my system they are labeled TZS0 TZS1.

    They seam to be getting hotter than everything else in my system which is a bit confusing because I always assumed that the CPU and GPU took up most of the juice.

    Both of them are getting up near 80c where as my GPU is only at 65c

    Chipset Thermal Zones. They should be close to your CPU temps.

    Wow they aren't at all. Is this bad?

    My CPU is maxing out at 50C and both of the thermal zones are maxing out at almost 80c

    Thats not good at all.. not sure how to fix it though...

    Try cleaning your system - it might help!

    Its only 1 week old, and I have only used it for about a day. So there is nothing to clean. What kind of temperatures is everyone else getting?

    Oh and also it appears as though the thermal zones are linked to my GPU and not CPU. They are both about 3 degreec C higher than my GPU.
