MBM claims my CPU diode is 88 C!

[ElFenix]

this is at idle, if this was true would the computer be stable at all? highly doubtful.

 

[CombatChuk]

that program is a little whack. According MB a sensor in my case is registering at -55C

 

[dennisjai215]

u sure it isnt on F? instead of C?

 

[SneakyStuff]

80' F would be phenominal, I doubt that, its most likely a messed up sensor.

yeah, its on C, the other temps are registering 32 (case) and 43 (socket)

What kind of motherboard do you have? My nForce-2 MB has trouble with MBM and Asus Probe. I just disable the both of them and leave it to my BIOS to shut it down if the cooling fails.

It is a weird program, before I knew that epox had their own temperature program I tried it out, every time I turned it on it would go haywire and my tower would start the emergency beep to shutdown..

heh i had one that said 140c🙂 if it doesn't crash, its fine.

it's an albatron kx400-8x

i bet albatron has a program, wonder if it works better

Yeah I have that problem sometimes when im stress testing. it will be floating around 50-52C for hours on end and then I will take another look its at like 102C then it will go to normal and then it will just go to 0 and the program will ussually freeze or atleast not respond in a timely manner and I will just kill the progam in task manager. It is quite interesting. I will just restart and check out the bios temps and they are floating back down to 32-35C as normal. Funky program ussually.

None of the Athlon boards, of any chipset, outside of the KT333 based Epox 8K3A series, read the internal diode of the CPU. So choosing "diode" will likely get you a false reading since none of theboards can read from it, other than for the bios to do a shutdown on overheat. After the 8K3A fiasco, no one dares to actually let the user see the temps of the XP's core diode.

My Asus A7N8X-Deluxe 2.0(nForce 2 Ultra 400) reads the diode just fine.:Q

Has this been confirmed? If so, that is good news. When you run something in Prime, you can see the CPU temp shoot up quickly within a few seconds? If it goes up gradually, it isn't reading from the diode.

Same here. As soon as I lauch prime my Diode shoots right up there to 54to 52Cwith in seconds. Then the Socket slowly climbs to about 49-50C a minute of two later.

Great news guys..thanks. I haven't been following it lately, but it seemed like the manufacturers were never going to display the actual core temp. Looks like I need to do some research and see which other support it.

🙂

Edit:

After my research, it seems like only the rev 2 of the Asus NF2 supports reading the diode, and they actually *hid* this readout, with only MBM 5 being able to read from it. The fact that they tried to hide this tells me why the other manufacturers haven't followed suit.

It's really too bad that the stupid people, back when the 8K3A came out, created such a RMA nightmare because they couldn't handle the real temps of the XP's at the time. All the people who RMA'ed perfectly fine boards because they "ran too hot". :|

Thanks for pointing out a current board that supports it though, I wasn't aware as I tend to run other brands than Asus.
