Testing onboard probe vrs. External. Results.

[DorrellCO]

This might be of some intrest to whom ever has a Epox 8K7A with the latest bios.

I used to be a member here but got lost in the forum transfer and my e-mail has changed since then so I couldn't get my old acount password back. No problem though.:)

Here are the results for the XP1600+ at 1.85Vcore at 1400MHZ. Running SETI.

This is the CPU temp from external probe that is touching the side of the core.

Your probe shouldn't be underneath your heatsink though it should be on the edge of your core.

[DorrellCO]

It IS touching the side of the core itself.
