I do have a $10 digital thermometer (basically ti has a long wire for out side temp). It is not very accurate but if I place it on top of the v8 heatsink would that be accurate enough ? I mean if it reads 200f woudl taht be sufficient for me to know I should return the board ? What about 170 ?
AFAIK, mainboard temp is the chipset temp. Unless it was coincidence, both my temp gun and the UEFI reported very close to one another.
