Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[cool_case]

the sensor, hopefully, is in the actual die of the NB like a CPU but i don't know if the x48 even offers that. i do notice substantial swings from idle to load in a relatively small amount of time making me believe the NB temp sensor is on-die or at the very lest, involved in it direct somehow.

Good point. The fast response idle-to-load NB temps likely means the sensor is on-die.

I just checked temps on my old P5N32-E Plus. There is no NB reading available in PC Probe, which means that the NB reading is provided by a special sensor. On the "plus", MB reads 33 (in Everest and Probe) and a wire temp sensor I just put under the NB heatsink reads 56 @ idle, though it doesn't go up under load.
