Where is thermal probe on P4b 266-C
 
On my a7v with water cooling, the temp varies. But on my p4b also water cooled the temp always reads 40 C, no matter what. Where is the temp probe on this board or are there any suggestions for getting an accurate temp reading. My name is seaspray because I used one of those Seaspray refrigerated juice machines as a reservoir for my watercooling. I just shoved the hoses into the juice outlets, connected the compartments and got a 250 gallon per hour pump. Water is at 4 C and athlon 1.2 ghz Axia overclocks to 137x11.5=1575 . P4 1.8 Northwood goes to 2.35 ghz on fsb only. But what about the temp. I'd hate to burn it out.
Btw does anyone know how to activate the voice function for this board?

Now I'm wondering how I can adjust the agp speed and the other components to stay the same while upping the FSB speed. The mobo specs claim this is possible e.g." Adjustable FSB/PCI/MEM ratio
Adjustable AGP bus "
Or have I misunderstood the advertising. I have a Gforce 3, but a cheap 5.1 sound card and the system won't boot above 125 FSB. I thought this might be a limitation of the AGP or PCI busses.
Any thoughts or experience?

although both the athlon xp and P3/P4 have internal probes, asus seems to have screwed it up in their monitoring systems, the temps are normally inaccurate, and often don't change at all. at 2C water temp you won't be burning it out anytime soon.

The only way you will get really accurate temps is to use another probe, like from a digidoc

Thanks Brad. That probably explains why I can't find it. I also have a Xp 1600 and couldn't find the probes on that board but the temp posted fine in the bios.
