If ur mobo supports it uguru should tell you. That is if it has a temp sensor If it does then it will also show in your bios.
yes MCH is your northbrige voltage.

just touch the heatsink I have circled in green below. If you can't leave your finger on it for more than a few seconds...its too hot.

You would need a temp monitor setup and a thermo-couple to read the temp, and even then your only reading the heatsinks temp.

My old nforce 580 board ran so hot, you couldn't keep your finger on it for much more than a few seconds before it started to burn.

that means ur mobo doesnt have a sensor and there is no ACCURATE way to measure it besides a infared temp gun

everest reads 27 on motherboard temp , doesnt move on load tho so im guessing thats not northbridge , what other programmes could i use.

also whats AUX3 fan , i have a titan amanda cooler which rpm is got from a pci card , but there was also a connector which was plugged into the mobo. CPU fan reads 1680rpm and aux3 reads 1620 and sometimes 1560 , when thats 1560 my CPU fan speed goes to 1620 :S anyway to keep my cpu rpm full speed all the time.

You can use an infrared temp gun to grab a quick, at-the-moment reading - it won't be 100% accurate, but within a few degrees
