" Stuck" temp-sensor.
Hi all!
I just put together an new system with: A8V-dlx Athlon64 3000+ Boxed set w/ standard HSF 1G Twinmos PC3200 matched pair of 512s WD 200GSATA Everything is running great, except MBM5 (and speedfan4.18) reports my CPU to be running at 125C. I assume this must be wrong, since I can't believe it would run rock solid at that temp. The meter also won't change whether I turn SETI@home on or off, wich affects all my other 'puters quite a bit. I think this probe is in the CPU, rather than on the MoBo, right? Is it worth bothering to fix, (RMA the chip, or could there be away to fix it) as long as I don't test it's overclocking capabilities? (I'd really like to keep it online) I intend to replace it with a faster chip in a few paychecks time, when I've saved up some, anyway. C'ya /Ola J |

I suggest that you try Asus Probe instead:
http://www.asus.com/support/download...04.zip~zaqwedc (link may wrap) I can't verify its accuracy, but it's not "stuck" with my A8V. HTH. Bob Knowlden Address may be scrambled.

C'ya /Ola J MBM5 is probably associating CPUtemp with the wrong sensor. Bring up the MBM5 settings panel, click on temps, select the sensor title of CPU, then fish around for a board sensor which correlates with what you think (or what AsusProbe shows) the CPU temp to be. For sure, 125°C is wrong. For comparison, my P4C800ED currently shows MBtemp=33 and CPUtemp=59, with an ambient of 23 and the CPU fully loaded with FP-intensive apps. At idle, the CPUtemp drops ~10°C, and MBtemp does not change. -- Cheers, Bob |
