Well I've done a few tests and have come to the conclusion that Abits cpu
sensors on this AV8 3rd eye v1.1 board are at least 20c too high.

Currently room temps shown by a thermometer are 18c, uguru shows them at 22c...
okay we know there only approximate so no big deal, but it showed my cpu as
being 40c as soon as it started... way too high, where finally after about
10mins the cpu temp is showing 60c and that's at idle.

This heatsink which is a very big ThermalTake silent boost 8 unit has been
re-seated to the cpu 3 times, and its made no difference, on my previous board
the cpu temps used to show around the 34c so what the hell is Abit playing at!

I don't expect the temps to be super accurate as they are only an approximate
guide anyway so no big deal, buts its no fun when the overheat alarms start
going off in the middle of a game especially when you know the real temps are at
least 20c less.

ABits latest 17 bios is supposed to have fixed the problem, well it made no
difference whatsoever! in fact I thought the temps were a fraction less on the
bios 16.

Another load of junk from ABit!

Your not alone matey... loads of users of this board are having probs with high
cpu temperatures. Mine is currently showing the cpu at 65c and thats with
nothing overclocked and I know its not the heatsink. I'm just using the standard
h/sink that came with the cpu but this cpu and heatsink only shows 37/38c on my
other board (an Asus) I've had to raise the cpu alarm settings otherwise its
sounding off at the slightest thing. Its my first Abit board and its my last!
