We've talked about this before... As I remember, the diode itself has a +/- 1 deg C accuracy, but the circuit that reads it can be off by 10 deg C, sometimes more! (am I remembering this right?)

So pHaestus has this mod, but I seem to remember that the mobo circuit can interfere with it (if it's present at all!), making it all a complicated mod.
