does this question predate downloading Argus monitor?

Or is it what is showing that temp?

I can't find anything about PEC10 and that motherboard.
It's not PEC10 it was PECI. I've searched it on google and what I understand is: PECI the processor temperature sensor that can be read by other software or hardwares (I guess.).

okay, so i can't tell difference between an I & a 1 it seems.

seems its not a problem, its just showing a difference. I think closer it gets to 0 on the chart, the closer you are to throttling.
From a control standpoint, the main difference between PECI and the previously used thermal monitoring methods is that PECI reports a negative value expressing the difference between the current temperature and the thermal throttle point (at which the CPU reduces speed or shuts down to prevent damage due to overheating) instead of the absolute temperature.
For example, for a CPU with maximal temperature of 85 °C and a current temperature reading of 35 °C, the value reported by PECI would be −50 °C.
