It would be nice it they (Abit), had used the internal CPU diode for the monitoring rather than just for a shutdown. It has to be said I think the temps have been reported high so it did need a fix. I'm getting 32C reported with 16c coolant temp using the splitter block. Seems like its around 10c to 8c higher than previous boards to me. Either way it's beyond me why this lack of accurate temp reporting is still an issue. It's an important thing for overclockers, and should be important to them as they aim their mobos at that market.
Electronics are not my thing so maybe I'm way off, but why does this seem to be something they have such a job getting right? (not just Abit other makers like Asus etc are guilty of the same crime).
