This is pretty big news, IMHO. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=103639 Does this finally spell an end to questionable motherboard readings? Give it a go. I'm definitely trying this when I get back to Perth
Wow...now if that program comes with logging feature, Hmm...why did it take so long for a program like this to appear???
i wonder where'd he get that "49" from.. my reported temp by uGuru software is 51~53C; that little software tells me 64~67C that's a big diff, but still lower than the max 70C allowed..
I downloaded it yesterday... I liked it... I have an ABIT mobo and I don't trust it.. sometimes it shows me that my CPU temp is at 75-80°C and then it starts beeping and shuts the pc down.. arg
isit...? i did a test on my own.. aft prime95-ing for 15min, i touch the heatsink's metal part which is directly above (closest to) the cpu core.. it doesnt feels >50C to me & the mobo reading tells me 44~46C, but then the software tell me 56~58C!!
i don't know what's wrong... sometimes it used to show it was running at 75°C and it started beeping... I was using Abit EQ... when I saw this I turned off the comp and removed the CPU, replaced the thermalpaste thinking it was it, but to no avail, turned it on and bam... 75°C.. then all of a sudden, it booted and worked showing 45-55°C.. anyway, abit's EQ was on something like 40°C yesterday, and the program here showed me 45°C... dunno which one to trust
Your CPU core will definitely be hotter than the hottest part of your heatsink, no matter how good your thermal paste and mounting...
