    It's the IC that controls the Vcore voltage regulator (between the mosfets); nothing to do with the ACPI controller. It tells you about how hot the mosfets are, but don't worry, those are high temperature parts and don't have any problems running up in the 60's.

    If you check the multi DFI threads you will see the Mosfet area gets very hot on these boards. Most of us have fans blowing across this area.

    Apparently, the PWMIC is the arrowed chip below...



    ...if it is, then it's strange why DFI didn't slap a mini-heatsink on that as well.

    But then, I'm not sure it's actually that chip at all...

    PWM = Pulse Width Modulation - but is essentially power management (controls voltage for a given current to the cpu).
