I'm thinking of adding an on-die temperature readout to my MSI KT3Ultra2, along with sensors for air/water/block/gpu/harddisk etc. I have a couple of MAX6655 och MAX6659 chips for the job and was thinking of hooking them up to a private SMBus and link them to the main SMBus with a PIC acting as a bridge and also displaying temps on a LCD.

Anyway, the problem is that I'm pretty sure the on-die temperature diode is already used for the temperature protection, and I think I'll need to disconnect that first. I haven't had a close look at the motherboard yet but I was wondering if anyone had done something similar, or maybe had some info (schematics) of how the overtemp protection is implemented on this or other boards.
