10C too high? thats seems like a lot. what causes this, probe TOO CLOSE to the chip? how can it return data higher than the actual chip is?
If you check AMD's website they have the specs for where exactly the probe should be located for proper temp readings. I think it is a hole drilled .5 mm into the HS or something along those lines. Check it out yourself I haven't been there in a while. Anyway, the probe that is one the motherboard can't get there so they try to guess with a mathematical formula. They take the temp in the cavity of the socket and then extrapolate from there. Obviously, Asus didn't do their homework.
