Can you calibrate the temperaturesensors on the A7N8X-DL.
When I start my computer the temps are:
Temperature in the room = in the computercase = 21C.
MBtemperature read in the BIOS = 14C.
CPUtemperature read in the BIOS = 18C. The CPUtemp could have
increased a couple of degrees as it takes some seconds to come into
the BIOS and read the values.
The temps should all be as in the room and as in the case =21C when I
start the computer ??

Kind Regards

I always figured the thermal diodes were calibrated for the higher temps
(in use) so they may not be all that inaccurate at the lower temps like
when you first turn the PC on. But it does make you wonder, when my CPU
die is at 65C maybe it's really at 70C?, but that would still be 15C
under the max die temp rating for a Barton/T-Bred.

The way I look at it is, if my PCs are 100% stable and the temps are
basically the same as when I first built the systems I don't worry about
it, usually when the temps do go higher then I've ever seen them it's
because the case filter or CPU heatsink is full of dust and can't
breath.

I'm more worried about my $400 video card burning up. ;p

You are absolutely right. Some degrees up or down doesn't matter as
long as you are in the safe area and the computer runs well. I was
just curious to know if there was any way to adjust the
"temperature-normal".
This tempdifference makes you wonder how exact the sensors are, as you
mentioned. If they show 7C too low at about 20C, maybe they show
10-12C wrong at about 60-70C ... that' why I posted the question.

It can probably be done with the tools that are used to write/edit the
BIOS files.
