Z77X-D3H PCH Temperature?

[craney5]

Afternoon all

Just been having a look round my new Gigabyte Z77X-D3H bios and i came across this under the PC health status "PCH temperature 56c" I have never seen this before on my other boards but the 56c it was reporting on did make me wonder what the hell is it? My CPU temp according to the bios was 26c and the motherboard temp was showing 30c. On my desktop core temp was showing my CPU at 26c stock speed at idle and my 7850 was at 28c.

Any idea what this PCH temperature is?

Cheers guys

Liam

If I understand the PCH is about like the south bridge use to be.
