SkewdLogix Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I did the same mod on the Expert. After I had the stock HS off, I mounted a temp probe next to the chipset core being very careful that it didn't get in the way of the VC-RE when I mounted it. I reused the mounting spacer from the stock HS to make sure the VC-RE sat properly. FYI, AG put out a good tutrial on replacing the AS5 on the chipset that you can use for mounting the VC-RE. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20827 My temps under load playing BF2 are 40 degrees C as reported in the BIOS and 44 degrees C as reported by the temp probe.

Guest SuppA-SnipA Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 good temps u got, but which one do you trust more? lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkewdLogix Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I believe the temp probe since I know its measuring the temp right at the edge of the chipset core. There has been a couple of threads on how the Expert under-reports temps in the BIOS. Some guys have reported as much as a 10 degree difference. However, I also placed a temp probe right beside the IHS on the processor underneath my HS. The temps in the BIOS show 2 degrees higher than the temps measured on the probe. Now I realize since I am measuring the edge of the IHS so the temp probe is probably not as hot as the core so that might explain the difference. I'm thinking that it would be interesting to take off the IHS and measure the temp on the actual processor core and then compare it to what the BIOS says.

Guest SuppA-SnipA Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 so its pretty accurate, well its monday here, and im at school on my first day from march break o well, tech class is sweet, and when i get home i hope my vc re is there! cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoS Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 If temps are close between the two, always trust the higher one to play it safe. That's my thinking anyways. If there is a big difference, something ain't right somewhere in the chain lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
