I already did the soldering to the cpu with an old dummy p3 866. its increidbly easy.. I will ask my father (works in a music studio so they have tons of wires and bread bord and caps) for some of the other parts so that it wont cost me anything. I suppose that shielded cables are a very big part of it as any interfearence wil screw up the readings. but do they have 26 gauge shielded cable? kinda small eh..
Im pretty sure the test board has an smbus header. its hte nf7-s. When i pull it out of this rig I will have to take a look.
One thing, I was looking at maxims website and saw that they have other readers for temps that have .05+- acuracy compared to the 6655E which is 1C+- accuracy. seeems logical this would be a better choice. Am I wrong?
And to anyone who wants to solder directly to the cpu, if you have a 70watt iron like i do, TURN IT DOWN... lol... 70 watts on the back of the cpu isnt good. it starts to melt things when u get about 3mm from the surface.
