Max Load Temp??

[MooT]

I've got a PIII 700 @ 910 1.9V and Max laod temp reads 40C on CPU and 36C on thermistor beside core. Which is more correct, and I understand that it will be hotter in the core but a 4 degree difference??? What do ya'll think about what the max temp shold be???

If you can bend the thermistor in your socket so that it touches the CPU and use a little thermal compound, make sure that the thermistor does not interfere with the CPU fitting all the way in the socket though, this should give you within 1C temp readings and it should raise your thermistor temps getting you close to the 40C temp reported by your CPU.

goodluck

The p3 has an internal diode that read temps, I'm guessing that the reading from the probe near the core is local temp reading from the maxim 1617 or the ne 1617 chip? If you mean a thermister you've put on the core your self then it is likely to be slightly lower than that actual cpu temp or it could be that the on die diode is mis-calibrated

Your temps are OK, about average I would say.

Good OC. May be able to push 933 soon...

Is that a cB0 or a cC0?

Are you guys sure about the p3 having an on board heat sensor? Abit describes a "system temperature"and advises placing the thermistor near to the cpu to read the "cpu temperature". Cutting off water flow to my heat sink allows the "cpu temperature" to rise above the "system temperature" which does not change under this procedure (over a fairly short period of time).

If there was an on board heat sensor, then it should rise rapidly with reduced cooling and should, in any case be above the heatsink temperature recorded by the thermistor, ... which it is not.

Anyway, why would Abit include a thermistor if the most accurate temp was readily available from the cpu itself?

I plead ignorance, but the reasoning above seems sound to me. I noticed this behavior early in my oc effort with the water cooled system and had assumed thereafter that the system temp was for the motherboard itself.

Enlighten me if you can.

It's a cB0, I've had it up to 960, had it post at 1002!!!

on my MB there are 2 thermistors one under the core of the CPU in the socket and the other is lower on the MB to the right of my PCI slots i know my CPU temps can go up all they want but with my case cooling my system temps will remain the same. Maybe Moot can explain his situation a little better so we can all understand what exactly is going on as i'm a little confused and its probably my fault but a little more info and we could get to the bottom of whats going on.

Enlighten me if you can.

Interesting? My hardware monitor reports three temps.

sys1 I thought was ambient air.

sys2 is the thermistor supplied with the mobo
I stuck it on the HS on the video card
.
The last one seemed self explanatory to me?

Where does this temp come from?

I apologize if this is off topic.
