This is a Abit NF7 v2.0 mobo with a AMD 2500+ CPU. I have even checked |
| 22 |
the BIOS temps and they are very close, if not a little lower, than what |
| 23 |
Gkrellm reports. From what I have found with google, no one has |
| 24 |
reported them to have errors. I figure the only reason the BIOS may be |
| 25 |
a little lower is that it is just starting up. |

I don't have any reason not to think they are correct. The temps change |
| 28 |
with load and a change in room temp. I have seen it get close to 100F |
| 29 |
when I forgot to leave the A/C on one time. I do have a large CPU |
| 30 |
cooler tho. It's a ThermalTake Volcano 12 with the fans set to adjust |
| 31 |
with the temps. |
