ASUS Probe versus Motherboard Monitor on an A7N8X-X

S.B.

ASUS Probe v2.20.03 says my AMD XP2500+ on an A7N8X-X
is running at 38C (room temperature 20C, CPU 'idling') which is
the same as in MBM5 set to show Sensor 1 displaying "Asus 1".

However, if I set Sensor 1 to display the W83L785TS-S sensor
on this board (using mbm.dll 5.2.2.8), the CPU temperature is 44C
(both in 'thermistor' mode and in 'diode' mode).

It's not a big difference, I know, but I'd be interested to know which
you experts out there think is the more accurate.
 
One sensor is the socket temp (sensor situated beneath the CPU) the
other is the "on die" internal CPU temp, both are probably fairly
accurate.

I would go with the CPU diode temp. The socket takes too long to heat up
and if your running something CPU intensive, your CPU diode temp could
be at 65C+ and your socket temp still at 45C. Untill it catches up
usualy minutes later, then it is usualy 5C+/- under what the diode temp
is anyway.
