219407 2004-03-01 20:42:00 I have a Athlon 2700+ on a Gigabyte GA-N700 Pro2 mainboard. The mainboard Bios shows a system temp within 2 degrees of room temp when started. MBM also shows the same temp. It is a different story with CPU temp - MBM shows 20 to 25 degrees more than Bios. What is going on? Cooling is via a Thermaltake water system and all components are cool to the touch. Bios says 55 degrees after 4hrs of Flight Sim while MBM says 83.

219408 2004-03-01 20:48:00 I'm guessint that MBM has got it wrong if it is cool to the touch because 83 degrees isn't cool (mind you, neither is 55).

219410 2004-03-01 22:21:00 its only accurate if setup correctly. btw some bios are known to display inaccurately and mbm can use a correction factor to comensate.

if you have real trouble with mbm then try hardware monitor.
