Temperaturesensors?

[steimm]

Hi!

I have a ASUS P3V4X-motherboard and a PIII700E installed, got it yesterday!!!!

For the moment I'm running it att 966MHz (1.75V) without any problems. To check the temperature on the motherboard and the CPU I have MBM (MotherBoard Monitor) installed, is the temperatures that is "original" correct? Do I have to compensate a few degrees or is the measurement correct?
Is there any way to see what the exact temp is on the CPU?
Do you guys know any other program that can show me the temp so I can compare between?

Thanks

The Intel Pentium III 700E has an on-die thermal diode inside the CPU package. This is the most direct CPU temperature that you can made.

If you set up the MBM correctly, there is no compensation required. The CPU temperature will read within a few degree of the motherboard temperature if you run Windows 2000 or use any HALT commend program with W9x. The CPU temperature will run much higher when the CPU is underload such as running the Prime95 loop.
