There are a lot of different opinions as to what those three variables represent. One of HardwareCanucks.com OP members posted this finding:

Comparing HWMonitor with Everest Ultimate I get this...

BIOS - HWMonitor - Everest
SYS = TMPIN0 = Motherboard
CPU = TMPIN1 = CPU
MCH = TMPIN2 = Northbridge

A slightly different finding was posted by an OP at Overclock.net:

Temp0 CPU
Temp1 Mosfet
Temp2 NB
