IC7 Temperature problem

[W2hCYK]

Is there any modded bios for the IC7-G that has a fix for the cpu temperatures?

I read an article, that said the board over estimates the temperature by 10*c. They put a thermal probe in a heatsink, and got good readings (10c lower than what the mobo said)

I can prove this myself, as I put my P4e in my sisters computer motherboard (asus) and it read 32c instead of 42c on my desktop, and that was with stock cooling, I have a XP-90c, i shouldnt be getting 42c.

Could somebody mod a bios for me? is that possible? for the bios to read temps 10c lower than normal...

thanks.

I've got the same board, with the most current bios, and it does not seem that there is a fix for this. I also use the XP90 HS, and I don't really worry about the reported temps too much - seems the temp reporting is on the conservative side, and my cpu runs out of steam well before the temps would seem to become an issue anyway. I'd love to hear of a fix (if there is one) anyway!

its a bother.. you expect good temperature readings from a good overclocking board, and they dont produce a bios update for it... oh well... :-P

I tried to mod my bios, but nothing would read the .bin bios file.. ehh...

users complained about this years ago when the board was new, nothing ever happened .. just subtract 10° in your head :)

you want the bios to show 10c lower than normal???:twitch:
