New sensors on a motherboard

Ok, when you use Everest home edition and you go to the sensors, it tells you what make your sensor is. Could you (hypothetically) remove it, and buy a more accurate one. I was thinking about this because I tried checking the voltages through the bios, and they were off by almost 1V! It said my 12V was at 13, and it got me all excited, but I checked with a multimeter and found out it was around 12.v/12.2. Does anyone think this is possible?

the multimeter is right and......nobody runs 13v ;)

No, I know that the multimeter is right, I'm just asking if its possible to put a new voltage sensor or even a new temperature sensor on the motherboard so that you can use software to monitor voltage.

i would think the bios would have to be compatible with the sesor right?


and yeah my dfi is worse, when it reads my 3.3 at 3.02, and i check to see 3.32 i get real anoyed

well, the temperature monitors maybe...they're just thermistors. the voltage monitors? i doubt it. besides, as long as it's stable, and you have a multimeter around, you're fine.

Use this to add new temperature sensors on the SMBus, the MBM detect in the moment the news sensors

This is one hardly to solder :( .
