Cooler Master Seidon 120V

I recently upgraded from a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 to a Seidon 120v, and it has drastically reduced my cpu idle temp to  an average of 32 C, but my Auxiliary temp is in the 50-60 C range, and I was wondering what Auxiliary is and why it is so hot.  With the TX3, it stayed around 40-45 C.  On speedfan it is labeled as Temp2, but HWiNFO it is Auxiliary.

If you have multiple temperature programs open they can screw with each other and give improper readings. Auxiliary might be the socket or VRMs, something like that.

I only have HWiNFO open, after reading a bit many people have said speedfan is unreliable.

I'm not sure, I just replaced the psu and got the seidon.  last I checked temps my cpu and auxiliary were both around 45 C idle with a old CM TX3, now the CPU is at 35 C and the auxiliary is at 61 C average with the seidon.
