Could you please have a look and let me know what the part numbers printed on top of those two black 8 pin IC packages near the edge of the board and between the two cables in your photo are ?
Please forgive me for just answering the fucking question that was asked.
One is an
LM75
(closer to PCIe)
other is
24C32WP
k348k
It's the i2c EEprom
YMMV
Thanks tolip.
And maybe you could give your opinion on the statement "Core temperature sensing is performed by circuits on the die"
