LiquidRulez · 02-09-2003, 01:07 AM

I was curious if you have ever tested the readings of an XP internal diode on a MB equipped to read it,against the temps based on your testing platform on the same chip?

If so, How accurate is the XP's diode? And on what MB did you test it on??

Also, I want to ask you, in your opinion,what is the cheapest , most accurate way to measure the temp of a given cpu? And how YOU would impliment such a crude way of measuring the CPU temp??

Thanks in advance
