lol what I always said ... the BIOS does not get a temp by the temal diode it get a value ... just a plain number 10kOhm e.g. what you do now with this value is YOUR choice and if some wants to interpret it that way and someone another ... I don't even know how ppl. could even start to think about comparing temps of different motherboards ... thats just LOL and btw a temp taken outside the CPU really does show how warm the CPU is right ??? BS the temp is much higher when your cooler is 90°C hot ... its not shortly before death ITS DEAD !!!
