Alright i just did this socket mod on my ECS K7S5A. Being i fanally got around to downloading SetFSB so I can adjust the FSb in windows.

So here is the oddities. I got the new thermocoupler type K last week and thats what I used. I half assed calibrated it with another probe I have testing them against room temp and then in a hot glass of water while I stired it. The temps rose and fell pretty damn close together. I was satisfied enough. But then i got the probe installed and a HS mounted and booted the system and got a little freeked out. The thermocoupler shot up instantly and just kept going. Once in windows I turned on MBProbe checket the temps against the thermocoupler. MBProbe said 48C and the thermocoupler said 66C. I thought that was alittle odd. Then turned on SETI and ran it for a while. MBprobe went up to 52C and and the thermocoupler when up to 69-70C flipping back and forth. BAH! Guess I will have to start over.
