Okay guys, I ALSO have a Barton 2500+, sitting on an Abit NF7-S motherboard, and so far, I have two temperature sensors...
The first is the onboard one, and the second is a small sensor from my HardCano thermal monitor and fanbus...
Now, I was wondering, does the NF7 have a thermistor built into the socket that it reads the temperature off, or does the chip have a thermal diode in-built (And if so, is this where the motherboard gets the temperature information from?)
For the record, MBM5 is reading the CPU temp at about 40c, and the HardCano is reading around 45c (this is with the temperature sensor underneath the CPU, stuck to the bottom of the die)
If the Barton does have an onboard thermal diode, is there a method of reading it with software (MBM5? Another program?)
Also, unrelated to this, what kind of thermal protection does the Barton have? I.e. does it clock-throttle should it overheat, or will it just proceed to melt like the old Thunderbird systems would with a failed heatsink fan, or with a completely removed heatsink (Toms Hardware)
Thanks for any help!
