There is absolutely no way of knowing the accuracy of temperature readouts without using an independently calibrated temperature measuring device. Not an easy thing to do at all, if you want a calibrated thermocouple right next to the built in temperature measuring bead. Otherwise you are indulging in belief which is not scientific. The components used will be just standard stock items, they wont be calibrated and they will have a manufacturing tolerance spread. I would be surprised if the "uncertainty of measurement for 99% confidence level" was less than +/- 10% of indicated reading, same goes for voltage readings. |

| 126742 | 2003-03-09 22:01:00 | there are sveral programs like MBM (motherboard monitor) and if your bios is reading it incorrectly you can put in a correction factor with some of the programs. also don't forget to take in account case temp and room temp. the higher the room temp the higher the case temp will be which will make the cpu temp higher. |
