was refering to
this article, which allows Joe user to measure the CPU temp.
Since then, diode reading has been added to most mobos, but this prevents us from doing that mod, because having two readers on the same diode gives an incorrect reading.
With what pHaestus has just done, that article can now be updated/expanded so that we can get back into measuring CPU temps to the closest thing to accurate that the average Joe can get. As for calibrating, it would be possible to include a procedure for that too! It'll be rough, but it's still a vast improvement to the +/- 10 deg C variance we're encountering.
Now do you see where I was headed?
