Hi all.. this is probably a noob question, but Im hoping someone can help here.
I have a p4 1.8A (B0 stepping) on an Asus P4B533. I installed MBM 5 a while back,
and I'm a little confused on the sensor readings. What I THOUGHT was the cpu
sensor, may in fact be the case sensor I suppose.. and I would just like a little clarity here.
Reason for my worries is that I just went from the stock HSF to a spark7, and
even when running at full speed (6K), there is a sensor that reads 51 C at idle.
Running Prime95 for 10minutes or so, that sensor gets up to 64ish, so that definitely
looks like the CPU to me, but what do I know.
This is odd to me because the temp of this sensor's output does not really change
all that much when I go from 1.8 to 2.4 (100->133 fsb). Now I search around on
this board and I see people running p4 1.7-2.0s at under 40C.. air cooled.
I just dont get this.
my sensors look like this in MBM..
S1: 39C
S2: 51C
S3: -1C
S4: 25C
can anyone clarify whats up here?.. I mean, the 51C does coincide with my bios readings,
but Im thinking maybe I have a bad bios ver or something?...
can anyone help?
thanks very much
