Got a question on Intel CPU thermal specs

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

What exactly does Asus Probe measure when measuring CPU temperature? For my
CPU, intel's specs list a recommended max of
38 degrees Celcius for the maximum recommended fan inlet temperature, and a
maximum case temp of 73.2 degrees. Is this what's measured by Asus Probe?

I'm running a P4 3.2E

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. One followup question. Intel doesn't list acceptable
die temps in their thermal specs, or at least not on the page I looked at.
Do you know where I could find that, or at least whether or not die twmps
are higher than fan inlet temps. Thanks again
