Asus probe accuracy

Im running my new 1700xp at 2145 1.525 vcore with stock amd aluminum cooler that came with my tbird. Im getting 36load prime95 torture test.

I rly think it should be higher but im not sure. Bios says 45 c....should i trust asus probe?

oh btw insocket thermister is how the a7n8x records temps rite?

EDIT: i should add that its 22c in my room

Some of the Asus temp sensors are known to read 10°C below what actual temps are. I'm not entirely sure why they haven't been able to correct this yet.

I hear this question asked over and over. No piece of software installs sensors on the motherboard when you install it. All they can do is report (or mis-report) the same data that is being displayed in the BIOS. Hopefully the manufacturer of the board has managed to make the BIOS faithfully represent whatever data that sensor reads, and there is a whole lot less to go wrong than doing the same through software.

It's rather like asking, "Whiich is more accurate, the gas guage in my car or a passenger with bad eyes in the back seat reading the gas guage in my car?"

lol


cheap solution: get a temperature probe like compu nurse

BIOS temp = CPU diode
PC Probe temp= Socket diode

Ahhh, thank u Roadkill, i kinda figured at much, seeing how simply pointing a 90mm fan at teh cpu drops temps by 7C according to asus probe.

And i do apologize for asking a question thats been asked before, i supose i coulda searched. Sorry for my laziness
