dinos22 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 awesome it isn't awesome. There is a temp sensor problem there another user over at i4memory tested his CPU (exact same as mine) in Asus board and this Expert board............his Asus load temps were 57-59C and DFI A VERY SCARY 30C............that's almost 30C difference in temps.......i'm not going past 1.45v until this gets fixed either in bios or whatever is necessary......my old Abit was overreporting temps by up to 10C i remember well and they've first denied it and them fixed with BIOS 17 onwards............i don't want to fry my dual core you know what i mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Way too many variables involved in your example. What TIM was used and how was it applied? What heatsink/fan combination and what speed was the fan running? What was the room temp? What software tool was reporting the temps? Plus it's still well below the max rated temp of the CPU. it isn't awesome.

IMO, they're more accurate and pretty cheap these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinos22 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Why not use a thermistor? IMO, they're more accurate and pretty cheap these days. i have a thermal sensor lying around BUT how do you stick it in on the heatsink without crushing it.............the mobo costs a fair bit....i think it's reasonable to assume that those things would work OK......but i will do some of my testing and hopefully we'll have more users sharing about this because i've already had a few people tell me the same thing so it's out but i don't know how easy or hard it is to recalibrate it........when you get your board you should let us know how your one goes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenolith Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I tape the thermistor flat against the side of the IHS and take a small piece of packing foam (from pad that comes with the board) and wedge it between the IHS and RM, doesn't even touch the heatsink. I'd take a pic of it but I don't have it setup right now. I'll LYK what I get for temp readings when I get it in. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 yeah i thought you'd jump at any form of criticism How in the world is asking for some valid testing and reporting considered criticism? Proper testing is the only way to determine if there is actually a problem. If there is a hardware issue then you will know it's time to RMA the board.

decptt Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Any official review about Expert from A_G ? I saw A_G's picture, would like to ask some question??
