So your heatsink measurement MUST be lower than the actual core temperature since it meets these criteria. Not my opinion, basic thermodynamics and accepted scientific fact! The Asus board reports the temperature to be even lower than your heatsink temperature (which we already know is low) therefore it MUST be even further away from the actual core temperature than your heatsink temperature. Not my opinion, basic thermodynamics and math. Due to the facts expressed in the first paragraph, the core temperature will be significantly higher than your heatsink temperature. The Abit board measures the temperatures as being in the range that thermodynamics and math say they should be based on your downstream measurements. (Which we KNOW must be lower than the actual temperature.) So the Abit temperatures are more accurate than the Asus temperatures. Not my opinion, basic thermodynamics and math. So while your call to Asus to revise their measurement calculations are valid, your call to Abit to revise their measurements are in error. This is a fact, not my opinion. Nevin |
