Judging from the OHM source, it looks like some Asus boards have AUXTIN connected,
others don't. -60 degrees C suggests that there is nothing connected to the sensor pin.

Open Hardware Monitor source code, http://open-hardware-monitor.googlecode.com/svn.

I don't see CPUTIN on your screen shot. I only see "CPU" and "CPU socket", but I don't see
anything suggesting that those report the temperature as measured on the CPUTIN pin
of the NCT6776F. To know how the values reported by the AI suite map to board sensors,
it would be necessary to see its source code and/or configuration files.

Oh, sorry , I did not explain it in all context. Minus 60 Celsius has motherboard in red colour.
On the screenshot there is - 60 celsius temperature which corresponding with value as in windows 7 as in linux psensor/lm-sensor as in my bios in under certain complicated circumstances :-) That's the one for the reasons why I am arguing due to meaning of CPUTIN.
I try to explain - it is more complex:
Minus 60 Celsius does not mean that sensor is not connected. It is connected because - In 90 percent of my computer working time it is properly measuring value by BIOS and AI Suite ... EXCEPT lm-sensor/psensor in Linux - it is ALWAYS minus 60 Celsius - this is wrong.
What I am trying to say is that the problem is definitely at first with hardware (this part I am still working on it with asus technical support) and at second lm-sensor software in Linux. "Normally" , it is working perfectly fine BUT in some very rarely occasions - when computer is running much much longer temperature appears as minus 60 Celsius in Windows/BIOS". BUT In Linux - it is ALWAYS minus 60 Celsius - it never was different value.
Only CPUTIN temperature has such problem in Linux. The other temperatures - SYSTIN , AUXTIN , PECI Agent 0 have been always correct as in Windows as in BIOS as in Linux. I have been comparing/inspecting those values more than half a year so I am sure about those temperature values :-)

What I am totally confused is the meaning of CPUTIN/SYSTIN - from my point of experience you are first person who is saying that CPUTIN is CPU temperature and not motherboard temperature which is opposite what ASUS technical support saying and further reason which I have mentioned before.
( :-) So if ASUS technical support is wrong it would be fun to talk with ASUS technical support but I have to be absolutely sure about the meaning of CPUTIN and SYSTIN :-) )
On many forums - owners of this motherboard are confused like me and I did not find any reliable source of information to be sure how is it in real ?

If I run open hardware monitor in linux - there is no values for temperatures - except GPU - but only one instead of two and etc. ... too many discrepancies within this software on Linux so I do not trust that it is correct measuring (need to contact author later)

AI Suite is commercial ASUS software for measuring many usefull "bios" parameters like temperatures/fans/voltages etc. ... but only for windows) - so no source code at all - I will try to find some config files.
By the way - ASUS is not supporting linux at all and will not be - they confirmed that.
