Hello again.
Today I unplugged two IDE cables, and folded them to make them kinda rounded, and secured with electrical tape. Worked out great. I plugged them back in. All drives work fine. I was fiddling around on the net, and I looked down at MBM. (Latest version) My "case" temps were nearly 10c higher than usual. My chipset was running about 8c above "normal".......but my CPU was right about normal.
I thought perhaps I had set up MBM wrong, or somehow the settings got changed. So I reinstalled MBM. Same temps.......Hmmmmmm.
So I checked sisoft.......and the results have me worried. Sisoft reports my CPU temp to be 40C pretty much at idle. MBM shows 32-34c........
Sisoft reports my MOBO temp to be 29C......MBM reports 10c higher at 39C.
Sisoft doesn't have a temp gauge for the via chip (at least I don't know where it is if it's in there) So I can't compare but MBM is showing a 8c increase in temps over what I am used to seeing. Ambient is about 23c.
I am just wondering if somehow I damaged my MOBO by redoing those IDE cables, or if they are the culprit?
And if it was YOU......which gauge would you trust most? Sisoft or MBM? What did I do?
