temp monitoring diodes

Untrue, "IF" there's a discrete second sensor, it may show
up nearer the heat sources on one board, further away on
others. Somewhat arbitrary and anything BUT a deliberate
attemp to keep away from these sources.

It's all beside the point though, most boards don't have
discrete temp sensors, instead relying on a readout provided
from one of the chips instead.




Wrong.
Northbridge can easily get hotter than a CPU using HALT
cooling, particularly the newer generations of flipchip,
chipsets and any of the more efficient CPUs (mainly meaning,
not a Prescott).

You are right.
Below are Everest reports taken while system is "idle" (5 windows, but
no HD activity, and CPU only engaged in XP background activity.
The CPU is a Northwood with the stock Intel Fan/HS.
Asus Probe software consistently shows the same trend, but
the MB/CPU temps are 32/28.

Nothing but invective. I tried letting you out of the PLONKbox,
but that was obviously a mistake. Back you go.

Idiotic invective too. Its odd cos he does often get the simpler things
right, but loses it entirely on stuff like this.

Nope, not unless he is using a peltier for cpu cooling, child.

aha, well done for admitting it is in fact possible, and thus not
against the laws of physics.

A quick hand check isnt likely to be able
to distinguish between 30C and 40C, child.

it isnt intended to. Do you follow anything? Its intended to make sure
the parts arent over 60C, which is what matters. Whether a cpu is at 30
or 40 is immaterial.

Makes a lot more sense to make the cpu work
harder and see which temp increases instead, child.

not really.

No need for that when both of those temps are fine, child.
Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag.

lol. I spose thats all thats left.

Perfectly reasonable to rely on it with both temps being fine for the cpu
temp, and completely trivial to check if they are reversed or not, child.

Even someone as stupid as you should be able to manage that, if someone
was actually stupid enough to lend you a seeing eye dog and a white cane,
given that you have clearly wanked yourself blind years ago, child.

I'd really hate to be you, so utterly strung up by your own ego issues.

Pity that he aint using a peltier, ****wit.

Its against the laws of physics given that he aint using a peltier, ****wit.

It aint gunna be over 60 even if the sensors are reversed, ****wit.

Irrelevant to the OP's question, ****wit.
not really.

Fraid so. Thats what the OP wants to
know, if the sensors are reversed or not.

You're so stupid you cant even manage to work that out yet.
lol. I spose thats all thats left.

Maybe you could explain how this works then. CPUs need to be run at
relatively low temps to preserve high speed performance, whereas volt
regs and so on can happily run upto 175C.

Not really true, you'll get abysmal life out of a regulator
up at 175C. Likewise you shouldn't run a CPU at their max
spec'd ~ 75-90C either.
Cost is important in the
competitive world of computer parts, and lower design temps mean more
silicon and more heatsinking. So why would I, or anyone else designing
a mobo, use a volt reg design temp limit below that of the CPU? In what
way did I go wrong all these years when designing psus?

You asking to go off-topic. Better to post in a different
forum.

You'd use a volt reg design that stays cooler because there
is limited board real-estate to 'sink away the heat, and
because immediately adjacent copper, coating, nearby
capacitors, inevitably 'sink some of that heat but don't
have the high temp resistance of silicon.
