Question About Temps

[LiquidFlame]

In the BIOS where it has CPU, Motherboard, and MCP temperatures. The MCP temperature is the SB temperature right? Is there anywhere in the BIOS that also displays the NB temperature? Also where in EVEREST can you see the NB/SB temperatures? I can find the temperatures for CPU and GPU, but I don't see anything for NB/SB. Thanks.

Use the health monitor program that came with your mobo - may have to dig around on the driver CD to find it and always check your mobo mfr's site to see if there is a newer version.

The generic ones need to be configured for each mobo - may or may not be able to configure for everything on a given mobo. In any case, the supplied utility will familiarize you with what the reading should be so you may be able to manually confugure the generic ones.

MCP stands for Media Communications Processor in nVidia speak. Generally means the chip that contains the onboard video.

Well the one that comes with (nTune) is said to be terrible and never to install. Thanks for the definition of MCP, but in my BIOS where it gives a temperature for MCP, what is that temperature referring to?

Like I said, the chip that contains the onboard video logic - not sure whether that's northbridge or southbridge. Your mobo manual should tell you. AFAIK, the reading is from an internal sensor.

Northbridge does ram, no ? Southbridge is PCI-e and PCI slots communication? I'm not 100% sure either. Don't want to hijack the thread but AMD cpu's have ondie memory controllers, does this mean they don't have northbridges? I always noticed how in an Intel rig you might have to bump NB voltage, and on a AMD mobo there is no such thing.

Northbridges do more than memory control.
