Bottom line, how do I get an accurate temp with an IS7-E?

I've got a 2.4c and after the bios 18 flash my idle temps have been 52c and load is around 56c. Temps are recorded using Winbond. I don't even have it oc'd right now. So, bottom line, whats an accurate way to measure my cpu's temp?

Buy something like an Aerogate that has a physical thermometer. That is the only way to be absolutly sure what ur temps are.

Generally, everyone seems to agree that Abit reports temps a little higher than others. But even so, your temps appear a little too warm for default. Idle temps are way too high, looks like you are in dire need of better case ventilation.

What heatsink are you using?! A block of steel? What kind of thermal compound do you have? Case fans? Lots-o-questions

Sounds to me like you need to reseat the cpu. I have an IS7 e in my wifes comp and her's is 40º at idle and up to 52º at load and that is with a zahlman copper. I think I need to reseat her's as well.

I used AS3, stock cooler, 1 front intake fan, 1 side intake fan, 2 exhaust fans, and then the psu exhaust fan. Before I flashed to v18 bios my idle temp was 39c. Its only afterwards that I would get these ridiculous temps.

Hmm, maybe you should flash back and see what happens. I have heard of such things happening before. Abits temp readings are so crappy.
