Just a quick question for anybody with some insight.
I bought a Soyo 7IS2 motherboard for the "family" pc. It's socket 370 board with Intel's 815EP chipset (NOT revision B so it doesn't support Tualatin).
I have installed a retail Pentium III 1.0B Ghz in the FCPGA-2 packaging using the retail boxed heatsink and fan.
The BIOS reports a consistent core temperature of 78C. This in no way can be correct.
As an experiment, I swapped it out with a PIII 933 and got a core temperature of 81C.
I ran Motherboard Monitor with the 1gig and got a run temp of 40C, ambient of 32C. Much more normal.
No lockups, nor abnormalities. Turn off the fan on the heatsink and it gets warm, and then progressively hot so I know that it is making good contact. Turn the fan back on and the heatsink cools back down.
I did a search here and on the web at large and only came across one other mention of this issue with this board. But there was no response back to that post (at another website).
Has anyone else experienced this weirdness with this board, or any other?
I verified that the BIOS was current. I also cleared the CMOS to make sure it wasn't something goofy in there causing problems.
System works just fine so I am just looking for answers as to WHY it is so blantantly misreporting CPU core temps.
Oh, yeah, almost forgot, the ambient temp that the BIOS reports is normal.
