Default Abit IS7 temp readings


I read that Abit boards have bad quality tempurature sensing, and can be as far off as
+|-10c, is this true??? If so, is there a way to get an accurate reading?

I assume any added software will only use the hardware sensors, I am using Motherboard
Monitor 5 showing an average idle temp of 41c whether_or_not the side panel is on the
case. Using a Thermalright XP-90 which is nickel plated copper base, four empty heat pipes,
and aluminum fins, holding a [Fan is a] 92mm Panaflo/54cfm on a P4 2.6c/ht.

How do I find out? What can I trust?

There were errors in temp reading in the early bios of some
motherboards.

I wish my P4 on my ic7max3 ran that cool at idle.

Since the temps are the same with or without the cover, it means you
have good air flow through your case.

OK, I gathered, it ain't all that vital

You think 41c is GOOD??? I think 30c good!

Here, buy an XP-90 heat sink and a panaflo fan, this is where I bought mine
at a decent price, and now it's on sale way down, $22.95:
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ That's the cheapest anywhere and
they are quick and cheap to ship. Look out for the 15% restocking fee.
