"System Temp" is a small thermal sensor that is located on your motherboard somewhere close to your NorthBridge that is suppose to measure your ambient case temperature. This is not an accurate reading on your ambient temperature in your computer room but a close idea of how warm the air around that part of the motherboard is.

At least that is what I think. I could be wrong but not by much.
