There's a nifty hardware monitor program that comes with new Abit mobos and monitors temps, fan speeds, and something called system and cpu hysteresis low. Anyone know what that means exactly? My new T-bird at default settings is running cooler than my OCd celerons did and if I check the boxes for those "hysteresis low" warnings, it tells me that my cpu temp is lower than my cpu hysteresis temp yet what does that mean? Doesn't seem to be a problem IMHO.

Hey Evil.That's actually a utility that's supplied by VIA for their chipsets-it's not motherboard specific.All it actually means is that your motherboard or CPU is running below,as opposed to above,whatever threshhold you've set it for-in other words "too cold".If you set the hysteresis for the CPU to 78F and it drops below that the alarm will go off-it's a pain in the @ss-I just disable it.

Thanks Kill_Joy,
It's weird in that I wouldn't think running too cold would be considered a problem to anyone, like why would they do that? My "hysteresis" boxes are un-checked too.

the only thing i'm running on mine is the voltages and the cpu temp - i have all my fans running off regular power connectors, not mb headers. i bought my fop38 from 2cool and he strongly recomended not using mobo headers - what kind of temps/what fan on your tbird, evil? my duron 840 for now is 25c resting, 32 full load

In that windows program, cpu temp now reads 77F (25C) resting. Went up to 98F after a bit of Q3.
My added cooling fans besides the cpu fan all run off my PS too.
