    AMD diode temperature 37 C off from regular temp measurements?

    When using everest home edition, I get Tcpu = 42C. and a Tdiode = 79C, Tsystem is 29C. I have a zalman CNPS7000B AlCu running at full speed so I'm guessing the 42C is closer to my actual temperature. How come there is such a huge difference between the two readings? Oh and it's a Barton 3000+...

    Barton 3000+ running 73 C idle and 81 C under load?

    I can't figure it out. This is the heatsink/fan I have (5500RPM fan): http://www.explosivelabs.com/reviews/copperx/index.shtml I know it's not the best, but 80+ C under load doesn't seem right! I'm using plain white thermal compound, and it's applied correctly. Do you guys think a better HS/Fan...

    Will an ASUS A7V333 Rev. 1.02 support a 333Mhz FSB Barton?

    I've heard of a few success stories and no failures with a BIOS flash to 1016. ASUS doesn't say it on their site (Only Rev 2.0 or later supposedly), but I did flash my BIOS to 1016 and the 166Mhz option is there. It will be a 3000+ Barton so I'm hoping it will work alright. Oh and technically...
