Hi,

The Three BIOS's I've tried for my new mainboard all gave vastly
different temperature readings. I don't have screen shots from the
original BIOS but the latest two are shown here:

Hi PersonalComputerDoctor,

Yes, the screen shots are ASUS Probe 1.03.02, but as I understand it the
ASUS Probe merely reads the values from the BIOS.

I' ve heard many complains about the latest Asus probe, espacially from
people who used older versions earlier. This should be due to another way of
reading and applying compensation formulas and the topic was already
commented on some test sites (don't remember if it was Anandtech or Xbitlabs
or Tomshardware).
