Funny Chaintech Board

I've got a Chaintech Mobo here that must have a faulty Temp sensor.. hehe.. Because the temperature bounces from 9*C to 254*C to 19 to 37 to blah blah blah.. I'm assuming I should worry too much as long as the HS/F are cool to the touch? I know it's seated well as I've reseated it twice now just to make sure and each time it's come up with paste.. Just curious to see if anybody else has had these issues.. heh

What's reporting this? MBM or their own application? Does this also happen when you monitor temps in BIOS?

These chips were really never designed to be monitored from within windows, and there's always some accuracy and stability issues. My file server sometimes has the temps jump wildly (I leave MBM runnign on it). Most of the time it's 57 C but sometimes it jumps to 190 C (impossible) and sometimes it shows a negative number. Then it settles back to around 57.

Using SiSoft Sandra, and the Chaintech DigiDoctor to get these "anomolies". The bios doesn't report the temperatures in the same manner, but it says the chip is at like 67*C and that can't be possible. The HS/F is cool to the touch.

I had this happen to a Chaintech 7NIF2 motherboard, about a month afterward it keeled over and died...

I guess I'm lucky, mine has been doing this for almost a year now.

I only just now felt like asking about it.
