Where is the "Zone 2" on an Intel P4 Socket 478 motherboard?

[jyates]

Hi all,

Got a friend who has a fairly new Intel socket 478 800mhz fsb motherboard.
(don't know the model number at this moment)
and it's giving zone 2 alarms on the temperature.
It's hitting the 122 F. mark and that's setting off the alarm.

Problem is that I don't know what or where the zone 2 area is.

The processor zone shows to be running around 130 F. and the zone 1 shows
to be running around 105 F.

Anyone have any ideas where the zone 2 is?

Thanks,
Jim

Looks like I've played stump the band on this one

Your temps aren't that high. If you're using a hardware monitor in your windows environment, I would set the temp limit higher, or simply disable the alarm setting. You can do the same thing in the bios hardware monitor, sometimes called "pc health status".

Those "thermal zones" are whereever the people who created the BIOS ACPI objects thought they should be. If anyone can answer that, then the company who made this mainboard.

Here is the email I got from Intel support in case anyone is
interested in their suggestion.

The thresholds for both zones were factory set at 120 F. and they say to move them
up to 158 F.


Hello Jim,

Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Technical Support.

System zone 2 is the area between the processor socket and the voltage regulator header connector on your Intel(R)
Motherboard. The system zone 1 is the area near where the system memory slots are on the board itself.

NOTE: It is recommended to set the upper thresholds for the operating temperature in both system zones (1 and 2) up to 70
degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit).

Please do not hesitate to contact us again if you need further assistance.

Sincerely,

Erick B.
