can gigabyte easy tune be trusted for temps??

[mikeleigh]

hi all,,

just a quicky..i got a 2700+ on a gigabyte ga-7vaxp that is running seti for about 15 hours a day as a bit of a burn in. temps read a health 32degrees idle and 35/36 full load. cpu is under a volcano 9 with a nother thermal take parked next to it dragginf air out the back..this is inline with a coolermaster is stuck in front cd drive bays to drag air over it all...

i just installed mother board monitor 5 and temps are reading 80 odd degress which has freaked me a bit...a quick jump into bios and all is good as 33 degress...


please can anyone explain this general weirdness???

thanks mike

i've had some problems with MBM%, setting it up. As in that there are so many temperature sensors with it. If you select the wrong one then it will display a flase temperature.

Best thing is to get a copy of SiSoft Sandra, install that and see what temps its gives you, then keep going through the temperature sensors on MBM untill both the MBM temp and Sandra temp are the same ,that way you know you have them installed correctly.
