asus mobo accurate reading?

[mc2k]

Hi I am wondering, if my Oc is save since, I heared that asus read temps lower then it actuualy (how much lower?)
I did the readings asus probe( max temp in prime95 after 7 hours running =49C. Is this a safe temp even asus read lower? or should U recommend me another monitore prog then asus probe?

If your sensor is supported, MBM5 is nice, and easy. If not, Sandra works.
The thing is, that it is the calibration of the sensor Asus uses, and not the program , that reads your temps low.
It doesn't really matter though. If you can run prime95 for 7 hours, even if the probe said 99c, your system is stable and can take a lot more abuse than you are likely to through at it.
Dont worry you are fine.

99? hmzz Its a Northwood p4 I heared not go 60 C above(55 is nice) Am I right?
btw is a 3.2 oc to 3.6, not that much tho (stock cooler)

I dont know much about the Northwood chip, but my 3.0E will run stable at 3.6 on air. It has been clocked up to 3.8

Hi,

Your CPU will start to throttle at 70C. That means it will slow down all on its own.

You have to try keep the temperature below that. The lower the better since it theoretically extends the life of your chip (cpu). Your maximum temperature under Prime95 torture should be as low as you can reasonably make it.

With the way CPU's increase in speed, it is unlikely you will want to keep this chip for significant use in 5 years probably not even 3 years.
