How accurate is the nf7 REV2.0 at giving accurate temps. obveously the reader is under the socket so it's not the actual on die temp. But compared to other boards.

My 1.4 tbird is at 1.6 right now, at 42.5 load. Not bad...

Your temps might be accurate or the sensor and BIOS are way off. There's no way of knowing for sure without using a calibrated instrument of some kind.

I don't know about the CPU readings, but the case temps are way off. It says 12C, but I'm sure the room temp is around 18-20C at least.

When you guys install the cpu on the NF7s, did you bent the probe up past the socket and install the cpu, pust down and lock it, so the probe is actually touching the back, reason why I am asking is because my idle and load temp are higher than most of the post I read here and amdmb forum.

I bent my thermistor up slightly; my idle temps read as 37C with the setup in my sig (WC); I can't believe them (BIOS 1.7).

Well, I think one of the latest bios updates (at least for the NF7-S 2.0) or one of them...has some more accurate temperature readings. Im just gonna end up nabbing a thermal probe from soemwhere (I think bestbyte has some for 7 bux...good ones too). and then put that ont he front of my case (mod it into a 3 1/2" case plate)

Fold and Frag on

After flashing to the new updated bios, my temps dropped 3-4C(I think). Not sure how accurate it is, but *shrug*
