As has been mentioned, there should have been a probe that came with the
motherboard in a seperate plastic bag.  It plugs into a spot on your
motherboard (near the pci slots) and then you tape it to the
processor/heatsink.

You are confusing the fans.  The stats are not listed on the power supply
fan or the front case fan.  The specs you are getting are for your processor
fan.  If you had a dual fan heatsink with 2 power leads you could get
readings on each individual fan.  The bx6-r2 also has a third lead which can
be used.

A good program for monitoring all your system information, including cpu and
motherboard temp, fan speeds, voltage, cpu usage, etc. is WinSystem 98.  The
