Default Motherboard temp readings

Hey everyone,

Recently got a new motherboard, Asus A7V333. I love the thing, but I think that it detects CPU temperature very incorrectly.

Here's why:

Previous motherboard: Asus A7V133

Heatsink temp through MBM on previous motherboard: 41C idle (with no AC in the dorm room)
Full load: 46C

Heatsink temp through MBM on new motherboard: 46C idle (WITH AC on at home)
Full load: 56C <---!!!

Now...I'm using a new XP2100+, which I thought had some sort of internal diode thing-a-ma-jig that was really accurate for temperatures? Is my motherboard not reading the temps correctly? I was using AsusProbe, and that was reporting an even higher temp.


So basically, all I did was swap motherboards and the temp was recorded as 5C higher at idle. The full load temp went up 10C.

Anyone else having issues with their A7V333 as far as temp reading goes?

Any solutions?

I've got an A7N266 and the mobo reader is ABSOLUTLY WORTHLESS... it's best to make your own probe or get one of them Diode reader jobs...

JasonC: The A7V333 reads the on die sensor inside the core of the CPU, hence temps read higher although accurate. More accurate than what most people are used to seeing with insocket thermistors. It gets the reading from the center of the core so it reads 7-10C hotter than a CompuNurse touching the side of the core. Keep it under 65C and you will be fine.
