Just got rid of the POC (if any of u r startin to wonder what POC is, means its a Piece Of Crap)
After reading in a few articles about how inaccurate Asus probe is, (test results showed Asus probe reported up to +10c above what temps r actually at),
i decided to get it to its usual Asus probe temp - 52c and reboot straight into bios (sposed to be accurate within .4c) and checked it there. (done in under 12 secs)
It stated a whopping 9c difference (even after i allowed 2c cooldown)
I repeated process and got same results, so i dl'd Motherboard Moniter and put it to the test....
it was MUCH more accurate, -1c of actual cpu temp (this can be compensated for in program)
FINALLY my temps read round where they're sposed to be, 42c underload + 40c idle @ 24c ambient.
Ive got an Asus A7V-133 with a Duron 800@950,Thermoengine HS, Sunon 80mm 42cfm fan..
I dont know if this applies to all Asus boards, i only read articles relating to A7V/A7V-133.
