First of all, dude, I feel like being an ass to you like you were to me, but I really value the Pro/Forums as a place where this kind of thing doesn't happen so I'm just going to ignore the attitude. Do you really need to wet your panties like that when there is a difference of opinion? Why can't we have a civil discussion?
I think you are assuming that while the mobo temp sensor is not precise, it is consistent. This is where I am saying you are incorrect. They are quite erratic. While we may be saying the same thing here with a misarticulation, this is what I think you are saying. You are saying that the temperature reported is incorrect by a few degrees. However, it should accurately depict temperature swings. This is where I disgaree. Due to the inaccuracy of it, a small change in the system such as the addition of water wetter may or may not go reported by the probe. After all, there is circuitry on the back of Athlon XPs that completely throw off the probe even more. Granted, if you were to turn your radiator fan off, i'm sure the probe temperature reading would increase, but for a small change such as the addition of water wetter, the probe is not valid.
However, I did read someone else saying that they use an inline temp probe. In this case, the results would be more valid.
My argument is not whether water wetter does or does not change temps. My argument is just that the temperature probe under the CPU is not an accurate way of reading this. Are we on the same page in this respect or do you still disagree? If so, I'm definitely willing to hear what you have to say.
Keep it clean,
Kev
