CPU Temperature Probes

InactiveX · Post by **InactiveX** » Wed Apr 09, 2003 2:32 pm

When you install your CPUs, ensure you get an accurate temperature reading by bending the probes slightly so that they protrude marginally above the socket. Then when you put the CPUs in, the probes will be touching the hot part of the chips.

Also, a dab of silicone thermal compound on the probes' contact areas can't do any harm.

I have done this on my BP6 and the temps are always within one degree of each other.

[ in case I haven't mentioned b4 ]
make sure you don't break the little blue thing.
I have a board with the blue thingy broken in two.
the cpu socket doesn't work....

hence, the bp6 single

Dave_rave: have you tried contacting Abit about it? When I contacted them concerning my fan headers, they sent me the transistors in question. I guarantee that the little sucker is about as hard to replace as a cap!

I got it already damaged, 2nd hand.

I bought my first BP6 2nd hand with damaged fan header drivers.

Real BP6'rs!

I bought my third BP6, 2nd hand, with bad capacitors!

I only got one BP6 and just sent it in to Abit RMA...they are currently

OUT OF STOCK

and offered me a "store credit" equal to the amount paid on my invoice.

WAAAAAAA
