Hardware Monitoring Temp question...

[Amancio]

What temperature is the "Temperature 3" in the Hardware Monitoring tab reading?

How accurate is it? what is the normal temperature range for this reading?

With thanks,

Amancio

since i don't have temperature 3, i would safely assume that is your graphics card...

It can't be the Video Card. "Temperature Monitoring" reads the video card temperature.

There are three readings in the "Hardware Monitoring" Tab:

Temperature 1: System
Temperature 2: CPU
Temperatute 3:???????

Thanks anyway.

What sort of temperature is it showing for you?
Also what motherboard do you have?

The temperature usually shows between 7C to 10C however I've seen it a few times showing 120C so I wonder whether the sensor is deffective or if the temperature really goes that high.
After a reboot the reading goe back to 7C so I question the integrity of the reading. I don't think wherever the temp. comes from can cool down this fast in less than a minute.

See my sig below.

Wow nice system!
Not as nice as mine will be when i get my 6800s tho.
Can u look on the asus website to find out where its temperature sensors are or use a program like asusprobe or mobomon?
With temperatures like that though i should think it doesnt actually have a third sensor but that this is a software glitch where it thinks that you have.

It's weird because the "temperature 3" doesn't make sense. I can run the system 24/7 at 3.75MHz without any problems. I'll wait to hear from other forum members.

I've tried Speedfan and it also shows both the low and high temperatures on "Fan 3". It has to be a glitch because if I don't adjust the fan speed everything is fine however if I do then the temp. raises to around 120C. I am not using Speedfan though.

i wouldn't worry about it. the software may not yet be fully compatible with your mobo yet thus it's giving a faulty reading somewhere (it is PCI-E after all, brand new mobo =) )

@ gollum4444.. 6800?!?! TRAITOR TO ATI!!!! KILL HIM!!!! =D

 

[GoLLuM4444]

sry
I wouldnt usually it's just SLi is so tempting - I mean 2 graphics cards!! How can I resist?

 

[GoLLuM4444]

Also i have x800pro so I'm not really a traitor.
I'll bench them against each other but I'll put the x800 in my brother's computer and the 6800s in my mach2 cooled fx55 monster computer (with raptor, pc4000, 2 PSUs and all that) so I have an excuse when the nVidias win.

3.75Mhz!!
You mean when you said Intel P4 Prescott 3Ghz @ 3.75 you meant 3.75Mhz!?

Yes...3.75GHz. My 3DMark05 score is 6400 at 564-564 (Core-Mem) although I know I can go a little higher. I could push the CPU higher but then I do need better cooling. I guess I'll leave until I upgrade the CPU.

Dude- Ill sell you a 486 DX2@ 50 Mhz, as your 3.75Mhz Pentium must be a HUGE bottleneck

d00d, i think you got your technical terms a little off....

1000 hz = 1 mhz
1000 mhz = 1 ghz...

Didn't you want to say 3.75 ghz instead of 3.75 mhz?!

You're right. I meant 3.75GHz.

Still no one can tell me what "Temperature 3" is supposed to be reading.

I'm sure it's a glitch at those temps.
