Temperature Sensors?

Yeah, Winbond, SST, and the others - they are these companies that make these nice temp sensors for satisfying our curiousity about knowing the CPU temps right?

But I have a question:

Does the sensor measure the processor's temperature WITHOUT or WITH a heatsink?

For example: A basic Athlon XP 2400+ with stock heatsink = 73 celcius or the processor only is 73 celcius??

And I can cook my maggi mi on the processor - really - I want to try that already... uh... I need something to fasten the core and something else...

rotfl .. i think the sensor just measure the temperaute regardless with or without heatsink

Yea what he said.
The temperature that the sensor gives you IS the temp. of the CPU, the CPU doesn't not run at a differen't "internal" temperature.

With out the heatsink you would see a much higher temp, for about 2 seconds before the CPU cooked itself.

Also that was a silly question.

And isn't 74 degrees celsius way to hot?
