First off, system info. Abit BP6 running 2 C400's at 540 in an Antec case with 4 case fans(2 in, 2 out). Golden Orbs coolers on the processors and I yanked the greeny HS for the chipset and installed a modified 486 HS with a fan.
Second, all the temps are coming from MBM5. I realize this ain't the end-all be-all of temp reporting, but it's all I got right now.
I am just now noticing that my temps don't move much unless the room temp changes. Right now they are sitting at 39*C, 38*C, and 38*C. I have NO idea what those numbers reflect, but I'll get into that in a minute. I made sure the temp sensors under the chips are making good contact by giving them a slight bend upwards.
Under load([email protected],Sandra Burn-in etc...) the temp MAY raise by one degree, but it simply fluctuates up and down. I ran the Sandra Burn-in for 2 hours straight this afternoon, and that's what I got. If I turn the machine off for a few hours, then back on, the temps raise slowly to those I mentioned previously and stay put, even while idling.
I guess the question I am asking is... Is this normal?
Now on to my second question. MBM5 reports 6 possible temp sensors. Winbond 1-3 and Winbond P2-Diode 1-3. Does anyone know which one is which? I can't really tell because the temps are so close. ALL the P2-Diodes report 127*C no matter if the machine is cold or not. I know these processors would not survive long at all at 127*C, let alone running for several days with no problems, as this thing has. Which one of these sensors is what? I cannot seem to find any info on this at all. Right now I have it setup as Winbond 1 = Proc 1, Winbond 2 = Proc 2, and Winbond 3 = System, but I ain't sure if that's even close to correct.
