I purchased a Biostar M7NCG-PRO, and after testing my water system powered up, did all the normal installs, and when i got to setting up mbm5 I found 3 choices for each of my 3 senors.
example:
example:
- Sensor 1
- WinBond 1
- WinBond 1 2N3904
- WinBond Diode
[/list=1]
- Sensor 2
- WinBond 2
- WinBond 2 2N3904
- WinBond 2 Diode
[/list=1]
- Sensor 3
- WinBond 3
- WinBond 3 2N3904
- WinBond 3 Diode
[/list=1]
Now my question is, How the bloody heck do I tell which is which?
I'm assuming that at least one of these 3's Diode would be an On-Die thermal sensor? At least so goes my hope because while powered up and under load my highest of the 3 (I'm assuming it is indeed CPU) is showing 19 degrees C, while my watercoolers thermal sensor (located in the waterblock to the right of the die) reads 27 degress C.
Call me stupid, but I would think that an On-Die would be higher in temp then a probe stuck in a recess on a waterblock. However, if I switch all the sensors in mbm5 to WinBond Diode, my highest then is indeed 43 degress C.
Confusing no?
My System Specs are in sig, no overclocks yet till I can accurately (or with some semblance there of) read my temps.
Thanks for any help,
