DFI Lanparty Ultra B + Prommi MkII = ....

[Marci]

..... = some interesting temp readings!

Follow me here if you own one...

Download MBM5 latest version. Install it. When it runs first time it should go thru the config wizard and ask you to select your mainboard. Select the DFI > Lanparty (all revisions) option.

Open up MBM Dashboard

Look at the CPU Diode temp.

Now look at your MkII Evap temp.


Please post your findings below!!


I know this is touching on the rather sore Prommi Temp Inaccuracy issue... but... if anything this goes the other way.

Currently my DFI LanPart reports CPU Diode at -42 deg C. Evap is at -37 deg C.

As evap temp raises and falls, so does CPU Diode by more or less the same amount and vice versa. Contact is as good as I can physically get it (Lotsa washers, neoprene in the back buffering the chip up)

With neoprene in socket, undersocket probe reads +15 deg C. Remove dielectric and neoprene and it drops down to within 10 deg C of the diode reading (so around -32 to -35 in this case).

So, which is lying to me? If any...

When I got my Asus A7N8X-Dlx I had to get a setup file
to support the board but this had the same effect with
my prommy / cpu temps they did tally and a raise and fall
in the display temp followed the same diode temp reading.

Can't say if it was correct or not but they were in-line with each other with diode temps showing -40 whatever.

I was always told the diode temps are lies below zero.

This is the first board I've had where the diode temp has actually worked and moved up and down in relation to everything else as it is expected it should... plus when run on stock air the Diode temp rings true to what you'd expect in relation to the undersocket temp and Heatsink temp...
