I dont think so...

Diode readers are soo simple to make, gosh, ive got an extra chip in my room, I'll make someone a reader for a fair price. All you have to do is solder two wires on the back of the mobo and plug it into the smbus.

Its so fun to watch your temps jump up 3 degrees when you open a program, then watch the temps drop by 3 when the program is loaded.

It is amazingly more accurate than any probe. Ive got an A7V with the original plug in probe and it is always off of the real load temps by about 4-5 degrees.
