Hi

How can I find the thermal sensors on Gigabyte z97x-sli-cf.?

Like physically on the board?
Various monitor software(Speedfan, HWmonitor,corsair link and Aida64) all seem to find 4 different temperatures. But how can I find out which is which, if I don't know the location of the sensors on the MB.
The manufacturer surely know where the sensors are.. but I cant find anything anywhere..

Please help, thanks for any answers.

If it's soldered on the PCB and is to be distinguishable then there is always labeling on it. Unfortunately digging through the manual hasn't brought any fruition.

Might I ask what you intend to do once you've found the location for the temperature sensors? I think it's easy to distinguish where it could be located by having a small fan off any of the motherboard fan headers and point it towards some areas on the board. Once you see temps dropping on that location with respect to speedfan, you can double check by removing it from said location. Voila, an unorthodox method to locate your temperature sensors.
