Howdy All...
I have read that on the A7V (mine's rev 1.02 I think...or 1.2...the one with the 2), the BIOS that is used can make a huge difference in what the temp of the CPU is. I can verify that this is indeed true...I went from 48-50ish degrees at idle using the 1005C to 55-58ish degrees at IDLE under the latest 1007. These readings are coming from MBM5.
So my question is this: Are the different BIOSes actually changing the temp of the CPU? Or is it just what temp it reads? I don't have any kind of thermal sensor or any other way to check the temp, so it's just based on MBM5 readings. Since I've upgraded the BIOS, I even opened up the case, put my 80mm fans back in, and have a small desk fan blowing in it. And it's STILL hot. Should I be worried? Or is it just the reading that gets messed up.
For detailed specs, check out my rig link...but in a nutshell, 900MHz Tbird @ 1GHz on an A7V.
Thanx in advance...
