| 406135 | 2005-11-21 19:51:00 | Hi everyone I'm running Motherboard Monitor 5 and I'm thinking one of the temperature sensors is sending an incorrect signal or is it being incorrectly interpreted by MBM 5. Under MBM 5 I supposedly have 3 temperature sensors - sensor 1 is showing 35º, sensor 3 is showing 31º but sensor 2 is showing a whopping 75º!!! I don't think the 2nd sensor is correct because a) I have only just turned on my PC and b) the airflow from the back of the PC is not that hot and c) I doubt my PC wouldn't be working after all of this time running at that temperature. Has anyone else had experience with MBM 5 and incorrect readings? If so, do you just use a negative compensation factor for this sensor? Also, if this sensor is incorrect, how would I know the other 2 are actually correct? The PC is a 51A Shuttle. Thanks Andrew |
