So I see AMD finally decided to add temp diodes to the chips. <A HREF="http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/24309.pdf" target="_new">http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/24309.pdf</A> (AMD pages 23, 39, 40)
Do the newer motherboards (Asus A7V266 / Abit KR7A / etc...) recognize these and report core temperatures? Or do they still use the silly sensors under the chip?
I see the A&V266-E manual ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/socka/kt266a/a7v266-e/a7v266e-100.pdf (page 24) has a jumper "2-pin THEMCPU - This jumper selects the type of CPU and coordinates its thermal sensory capability."
Is this a yet to be implemented feature? Or are we there yet?
