i have a few quations here, so bare with me...i have an Abit IS7 mainboard. this is somewhat long-winded, but please take the time to read through it all...i could really use the help.
Temps:
i have a choice of setting sensor 1 to "winbond 1", "winbond 1 2N3904", or "winbond 1 diode." the same follows for sensor sensors 2 and 3. my question here is which one do i select for each sensor? i have sensor 1 set to "winbond 1" it reads 33*C. if i set it to "winbond 1 2N3904" it reads 127*C. and if i set it to "winbond 1 diode" it also reads 127*C. now 127*C seems a bit extreme to me, so i'm assuming i should be using "winbond 1" for sensor 1, though i don't know what temp it is measuring.
sensor 2 is a little different however. if i set it to "winbond 2" it reads 94*C. if i set it to "winbond 2 2N3904" it reads about 27*C. if i set it to "winbond 2 diode" it reads 42*C. now i'm pretty sure that "winbond 2 diode" is the CPU sensor because when i toggle SETI@home on and off, temps differ from 5-10*C.
sensor 3 is as follows: if set to "winbond 3" it reads 37*C. if set to "winbond 3 2N3904" it reads 127*C. if set to "winbond 3 diode" it reads 127*C again. so like sensor 1, 127*C seems a bit extreme, so i leave sensor 3 set to "winbond 3."
what confuses me about temps at this point is that i have no idea what winbond 1 and winbond 3 are measuring. i suspect one is the north bridge, but if that is indeed one of them, then what is the other? also, what about those 127*C measurements that were taken by the other sensors? is it possible that my mobo doesn't use those sensors and simply defaults to the strange value of 127*C when i try to use them?
Fans:
i have figured out which sensors monitor each fan by disconnecting them from the mobo and watching the mbm5 dashboard to see which fan goes to 0 rpm. there are 5 options in the board sensor box: W83267HF-1, W83267HF-2, W83267HF-3, custom, and LPC47xxxx-1. i have found the first three fan headers on the mobo and have connected the CPU, north bridge, and rear case fans to them. however, i have a front case fan that is also currently running, but the remaining LPC47xxxx-1 sensor is not reading it. in fact, it is not reading from either of the two fan headers i have left on the board, so i'm guessing my mobo doesn't utilize a LPC47xxxx-1 sensor. i'm also assuming that the custom option means that i can set up the remaining two fan headers to take rpm readings. how would i do that exactly?
and finally...Voltages:
my CPU is set to 1.5v; actual is 1.47v. memory is set to 2.6v; actual is 2.59v. the +3.3, +5, and +12 rails are actually 3.28, 4.95, and 11.86 respectively. i don't know how important they are, but the -5 and -12 rails are -3.63 and -7.01 respectively, which seems to be way out of spec. can anyone shine some light on this issue?
