| 202401 | 2003-12-23 02:38:00 | i have installed adia32 on my computer and i saw the temperatures there. they read: Motherboard 32 °C (90 °F) CPU 13 °C (55 °F) Aux 28 °C (82 °F) is this correct? because i have seen that people have like there temp. in the 40-50's. Also what is Aux? My PC is a P4 1.8GHz, 256RAM if you got the same type of pc what did you get? thanks Patrick |

| 202402 | 2003-12-23 04:23:00 | its reporting incorrectly. use a better prog such as MBM (motherboard monitor). | tweak'e (174) | ||

You can take a look at the temperature recorded by the BIOS to compare with the Aida readings. My CPU (P4 2.4 GHz) is currently at 40 deg C on a freshly booted machine at idle and the motherboard shows 29 deg C. A lot of readings can be off by 5-10 degs +/-. |

| 202404 | 2003-12-23 04:27:00 | The CPU looks low but is most likely incorrect. The sensors on the board only give approximations of the actual temprature. The others are withing range. Aux = Auxillory, what that is on your board I have no idea. Cheers Murray P |

| 202405 | 2003-12-23 04:43:00 | To be able to trust the readings, you would need to calibrate the sensors. The "Aux" reading will be from a third sensor input. There might be a sensor connected. ;-) That might be useful to keep check on disk drive temperature, or a video card. |

| 202406 | 2003-12-23 05:49:00 | hey Jen C, nah i dont have water cooling. it would be cool though:^O how do i access the BIOS? to compare the readings and also how do i install the sensors? i think they are already installed though. thanks for the help patrick |

| 202407 | 2003-12-23 06:49:00 | To enter your BIOS watch your screen when the computer boots up and press the key required. It is usually the Delete key but that depends on what system you have. | tommy (2826) | ||
| 202408 | 2003-12-23 09:28:00 | >and also how do i install the sensors? i think they are already installed though. I was referring to separate temperature monitors that you can install (calibrated of course :D), and not the inbuilt mobo/cpu ones. As I know zippo on these devices I won't comment further on them and leave that up to the experts :) >how do i access the BIOS? As tommy has already mentioned, you normally hit the delete key straight after POST during boot up to get into setup. Once in the BIOS, depending upon your version/type, have a look under Power > Hardware monitor. My BIOS reports the temperature about 5 degs higher than Aida32 or my motherboard ASUS PC probe software does. Just shows the variation that occurs. The ambient temperature in the room will also cause higher temperature readings as well. |
