I'm sure that most of you are aware that many of
the newer
Intel and clone processors are real heat generators and that
it's critical to keep them with specified temperature limits.
I downloaded and installed a CPU and motherboard temperture
monitoring program called MotherBoard Monitor. My question
is how accurate are these types of programs? On CPU intensive
task my CPU frequently pegs out the temperature gauge in the
MBM but the BIOS temperature monitoring never shows any
indication of overheating.
There is a calibration procedure you can go through, it's
all in the documentation...
