heat

[Dslam]

is it possable the the asus a7133 mobo is reporting the heat wrong ?
with the asus probe my cpu is at 46c idle so I played Unreal tournament for about 30min heat only reported to 48c

very stable !! so it's got to be reporting the heat way to high !!!
I mean playing UT for 30min should over heat if I was having a heating problem
updated setup
asus a7/133
amd 1.33 ghz
taisol cgk760092 Ultra with a dap of Artic silver delta 80mm fan
pc133 cl2 256mb
80mm front case fan
slot fan cooler taking air out

so what do you peeps think ?

I have heard roumors about the ASUS probe reading out the wrong temperature, but I haven't seen any evidence of it. I would try it myself as I have an ASUS board, but I don't have the nescessary measuring equipment. According to the roumors the ASUS probe reads temps 7-10 degrees to high. If anyone can do a decent test about this I would realy apreciate it as it would help me in making overclocking decissions.

Asus is known for off readings, for example
my p3v4x says 45c in MBM and 56c in sisoft sandra and if I reboot the bios say 50c and room temp is 26c.

The best thing to do is to get a temp sonsor that you can put next to your CPU.

ok but were in gods name would I get that beast ? plus would it give true reading

like i said seems stable I'v had it running for 3 hours played UT for 30min & it's still at 48c room temp is 70f
playing a movie now temp is not changing
so I'm guessing the temp is off by 7 to 10 degree's like the rumors
wonder what else i couple try on this thats use's alot of cpu time so I can see after half hour if the temp is still 48c or how stable it will stay
