Moved CPU Probe on A7V, Now no cpu temps!

[HecDTec]

Got a new Globalwin FOP32-1. Thought that I move the thermistor to the other side and closer to the die. Tape wouldn't stick. Used new masking tape. 0c temps. Took apart again flipped on its other side and boom 0c temp. Can anyone help?

I just use superglue and glue it to the HS>

Has it happened to you before. I'm not sure the thermistor's working since I get 0c in PCProbe 2.12 in hardware monitor in the bios I get -25c.
I'm not sure if it is the fact that it's not sticking to the cpu or that the thermistor itself is not working. I'll check it out with a Volt/Ohm Meter. Let you know what happens.

O.K. I wrote Asus Technical support last week and I got no answer yet. I have searched for the Thermal Sensor Part no. P2T cable on Asus's resellers list and found the cables for $2.99 at Tresure Chest Computer (www.tccomputers.com) and ordered three for the future. Anybody with an Asus A7v should get a couple in case they change thier Heatsink/Fan or Cpu's in the future.

HecDtec,

The probe will normally require 'trimming' to expose the tip if you want to position it under the hsf, up against the edge of the core, remove the excess plastic.

Did that unfortunately I either cut to close or I put the masking tape against the wrong side of the probe and now it won't work at all. Tried cleaning it with alcohol but it's no use. I had it up against with the plastic on before and got temps from 30c to 40c. My limit being 37 to 39c for stable operation. I guess that's all one needs to understand is what temp is unstable operation. Afterward it's just keeping it as cool as you can as fast as you can to stay stable.

If I would've left it alone I wouldn't be in this predicament and I would've been able to accurately compare the HSF change to the Globalwin FOP32-1. I broke an important rule - never change two things at one time and not know which one fixed or broke it.
