My current TBird 800 is running at 146.2°C?

I just run the Sandra diagnosis software and I was static when I see this screen Look Here!

Any Ideas??? :Q

If it was the ACTUAL true reading of the core temp, that CPU would be dead. Don't use SiSoft Sandra for reading temps -- very misleading!

Guarantee you that's wrong, no way in hell your system would be running with that temperature.

Cool temp you've got!

It's not accurate, ty other software. Via Hardware monitor, MB monitor...etc.

 

[Losty]

dang ... that's worst than a blow torch!...hehe...are you placing a heater next to your cpu? hehe...

it's way off!!! use MBM5

I just upgraded my bios and my temperature apparently went from 105 F to 120 F... just in bios.

 

[Bojo]

Can someone explain how this software knows what the temprature of hardware is?? I dont get it

 

[Mikewarrior2]

Abomination,

You probably upgraded your mb(is it a kt7?) to a newer bios that includes compensation of some sort in an attempt to correct thermistor reading inaccuracies.

Bojo,

Temp reading software that works(unlike Sandra), read hardware information off a pc-health chip(like a winbond chip) or a motherboard's southbridge chip. These chips read cpu temp, or cpu thermistor temp, fan rpm, monitor the different voltages, etc. The software in turn gets its data from these chips.

hey mike...so if you don't upgrade a bios and the upgraded corrects the temp reading error...will the software like mbm5 read from the bios reading? or will it display the correct reading?

 

[Mikewarrior2]

mbm should give you the readings that the mb bios does, since they both get their readings from the VIA southbridge chip.
