What is the AUX?

[AdrianCC100]

So I finally got my new PC from Ironside Computers. (Posted a picture of the inside in another thread if you wanted to see it) I then downloaded Speedfan to see the temperatures, I noticed something initialed "AUX" what the heck is that? Also, is 50 degrees Celsius a normal temp for it?

70c and under is perfectly safe for the CPU. Anything over that and you will want to look at extra fans, increasing fan speed, and cleaning out the fans. AUX is the acronym for auxiliary so it could be referencing auxiliary fans or power. I'd suggest looking in the help section of the program since it should tell you about everything.

5 options to pick from. But it most likely means "Auxiliary" yeah.

Don't know what AUX is but 50° is definitely nothing to worry about. The temperature under load is more significant, though.

AUX would mean a secondary fan.

Okay okay!

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
Corsair 650TX PSU
ASRock Gen 3 Extreme 3

Right now, at idle with just my browser open and installing a game, everything is below 30C besides the AUX which jumps between 50 and 51.
