on-die thermal diode

is there any motherboards out that read the XP's on-die thermal diode?
will a simple manufacturer bios update make your board able to read it
or is there gonna have to be physical munipulation of the board to
read it? thanks.

Shuttle AN35N reads on die and two mobo readings.

But then you could use MBM in Windows to read it correctly.


thought the board itself had to have the capabilities to read it
before the software could?

It's all chucked onto the SMBus. Most newer motherboards will give you the
ability to read that data, it just might not display it in the BIOS. For
examply, Asus PC Probe doesn't display On-Die temperatere.

Check MBM5 and see if your board is listed.

hey thats cool, installed it....says the diode reading is exacly as
the socket temperature, great program....my board must kick ass! my
heatsink rules....i live in an ice cave! i knew it would work....cough
cough

It might need setting up then.

Yes, it often needs to be pointed to the right sensors.

tried every sensor/diode it listed, either went 10C lower or stayed
the same as what smart guardian said the cpu was...which i believe is
the socket temp
