i have been watching my temps very closely lately between MBM and the digitaldoc.

i THINK MBM is reading the internal diode of the xp. "P2-Diode"

if this is true, then what pH said in a... umm.. uh... OTHER forum would be true.
he was talking about how external probe measuring get affected by "compression"

and this sure seems to be true since MBM read about 1 degree lower than my lowest temp and about 4-5 degrees higher than my highest temp (compared to the DD5)

all this would mean in the end, is that there is a larger performance gap between the maze2 and maze3

right now, college is closing up and there isnt much time. when i get time i will do a retest.

for like.. 99% of test out there though, they use a method similar to mine, or worse for measuring temps. so it would be interesting to see 100% real temps.

one problem though, the temp that the diode gives may not be calibrated to give 100% real temps, but it will give 100% correct relative temps. soooo... how should i go about gettin an ambient temp? i want one that everyone could use so that comparing tests will be accurate.

i could use my DD5 for ambient. but we would have to rely on the internal diodes being calibrated the same, and the DD5 probes.

or atleast use the same ambient temp, which may not be workable....

idunno guys, start throwin out some ideas!
