Really... What are the two readings?
That's funny I can't get the winbond 2 2n3904 to stick.. It keeps going back to none in the selection..
From what I understand the temp readings on these boards is too high..
I'm using the Winbond diode for mine. 42 idle, 48 load(depends on the room temp)..

Winbond 2 diode is correct. 
This is virtually identical to my setup same temps etcTWY said:
I didnt have an external probe to use but from googling I found the 2n3904 is effectively an external probe anyway like the thermistors. The core temp is from the diode. Im guessing their sampling rate is too high causing wierd *** readings for lots of people.
I have resigned myself to this and try not to look at mbm too often (even though I have offset the diode reading by -10 to stop me freaking out.

Is there a "trick" to activating the 2N3904??
When I choose that one it reads "none" in the selection area..

I don't use any monitoring software, unless I made some changes to my cooling setup, etc.
I believe it has something to do with the way ABIT calibrates the sensors. Asus P4P800 uses Winbond monitoring chip too, but it reads temps correctly.

Maybe that's it,, I'm still on 1.3

does the is7 and ic7 have the same temperature censors? because my speedfan is telling me around 42-44 idle and 58-60 load (retail cooler til water). im quite sure this is not correct
and where can i find the different censors? do i need motherboard monitor ?

Yes use MBM it should detect the sensors your board has.
