a7v133's innacurrate temp readings. . .

[Blackearth]

yeah, sure the asus a7v133's temp readings are always wrong, as much as 8 degrees or more sometimes (as i've seen at other websites). should i really be overclockin' or should i wait till i get the money for temp sensor to put on my proc? right now its running at 1224 (12x102), asus probe says 50c (after playing a game of q3, and other games for a couple hours ) that cant be right, when it say the temp was 46c when i first turned on my computer (didnt even load windows, went straight to bios to check temps). should i scale my speed down a little until i'm sure of what the correct temps are? or should i keep on going higher and higher until see problems of some sort

My AXIA 1ghz 266 FSB chip runs fine at 1470 mhz with my a7v133 reporting 54C to Motherboard monitor 5, assuming you have a good HSF and the case temps arent too high i wouldnt be real worried about it, if you want post that info and we can disect it a little more...on an unrelated issue you might want to try a lower multiplier and higher FSB for your overclock if you have pc133 class ram...

Use another temp monitoring program such as Motherboard Monitor 5.06.

The hardware on the mb isn't the problem the software is.

thanks to both of you, downloading motherboard prog as i type . . .so i will get a lower temp if overclock by increasing fsb settings and lower the multiplier? i'll try it. . .by the way-crucial cas2 pc133 256 mb stick, vantec (its the newest one to my knowledge, you know, the one w/ the easy clip-got nothing but good reviews)hsf
