This is what I've read. Is it true? I also read that some BIOS revision calibrates it to be more accurate.

1. Did later revisions start reading the diode rather than the socket temp?
2. Did some later revision recalibrate the diode reading? Which one? I have a "G" bios and there is a 9 C difference between what the BIOS reads (55) and what the patched asus sensor 3 reads in MBM (47).
