Just a quick question,
How far out is MBM in temp readout??
5/10/15 degrees celcius, less, more?
I only ask coz MBM shows the CPU running at 44 with not much happening, but
CMOS shows about 55 at same.

Running the following.........
GA 7VT600 + XP3200+
1gb Kingston DDR400
MSI GF 6600GT
2x HDD 2xOptical drives
300watt PS
TV Tuner/Cap card

Thanks for any info.

That would depend on how far out you set it when you configured it. You
did do that didn't you?

Maybe, maybe not.

Normally, the bios puts considerably more load on the cpu than the idle OS
and would thus be higher, but usually no more than 5-6C in my experience

And cooler? And case temp? And room temp? All factors to be considered.

How far out is what out from what? The value reported in the BIOS? The
actual spot-temperature at the internal diode? The average die temperature?
Short of using an external temperature measuring circuit and calibrating the
setup with a water bath, there's no way of knowing how far out it is from
the spot temperature. Then you've got the whole internal vs external issue
....

I've seen variation of 20 deg C between motherboards (both reading the die
temperature) and smaller (but still significant) variations between
identical boards. If pressed, I'd say that assuming it's a diode
temperature, it would almost certainly be within 15 deg C of the true spot
temperature, probably within 10 deg C.

Not that the absolute temperature actually matters, anyhow ...
