"I'm rubber, you're glue..."
i was just joking, once again JOKING!
as in HAHA - NUDGE NUDGE.
a comment was made to the effect that built in motherboard thermistors (i.e. located on the board in the socket below the processor) don't read accurate temps because they aren't next to the core of the cpu.
in a slot one mobo (which craigiz1 lists in his sig), there can't be that type of thermistor in the first place because it's a slot not a socket (a thermistor won't fit in the tiny slot) and the core is not even close to the motherboard, hence a slot one motherboard wouldn't even have the type of thermistor craigiz1 teaches us all so much about, while at the time he uses a slot one mobo. i bet he used that new invention "the search button" to figure all that out. i wish i was that smart.
if you don't get it, you don't get it. i can't explain it any simpler. but surely you shouldn't take offense.
i was teasing. get the point, a joke, haha, joke, haha????
sheez. i know you can put a thermal probe next to the core of a slot one processor, i have owned one and i mentioned that i did just that in the same post you quoted craigiz1.
you really don't get the joke??? are you serious????
what i have not owned is a slot one board with a thermistor "IN THE SLOT" because IT'S A SLOT, not A SOCKET. hence, built in mobo thermistors that aren't close to the core aren't even an option for slot one mobos and craigiz1 runs a slot 1 mobo presently.
i was joking, i already know all about thermistors thank you for telling me about the search button though. i'll use it to find some witty people next time to tease. i'm sure craigiz1 won't be listed. you're too kind for setting me straight though. (not too quick, but too kind nonetheless)
it was a tiny little joke, the guy i was poking fun at didn't get it. what a bummer!
telling me that I "may LEARN something" is taking this thread into the "craigiz1 got insulted" arena.
i never meant to do that.
i was teasing craigiz1 because he's talking about built in motherboard thermistors that are usually mounted in the socket area on a motherboard, a slot one motherboard is physicallly different.
sorry i overintellectualized this issue to the point that this little teasing was over some peoples' heads, even after i explained it. now i've explained it twice in detail now.
if you still don't get it....well, then it won't be me who has something to LEARN.
everybody say it with me:
"DUH!"
sheez, nothing ruins a joke like having to explain it twice!
craigiz1 - have a cold one on me and just forget the whole thing, unless you finally get the joke, then giggle a little, then forget the whole thing anyway. i won't tease you ever again. it's too much work and just isn't any fun.
i'd rather tease my 7 year old if "I know you are but what am I?" is the level i have to play at.
and let me respond to your next response now craigiz1 because i'm sure it'll be good - well maybe not....
"I'm rubber you're glue......"
I sure hope you got that one.
PEACE!
