Does bios 1.08 really fix the CPU temp?

I just plopped in a shiny new 3700+, and I noticed that unlike my old 3200+, my temps now don't read correctly.  My old 3200+ seemed to read accurately @39c.  Now with my new 3700+ it reads 63c.  I have confirmed that it is not running anywhere near that high, and seems very close to my old 3200+.  
I'm presently running bios 1.06 and everything runs great.  On previous motherboards I've had, new bios'es  come out claiming to fix CPU temp readings, but my experance has always been that I've not seen the fix claimed after flashing.
Has anyone running a 3700+ flashed to bios 1.08 actually seen the temp reading fixed?  I can't understand why my 3200+ reads right on but yet my 3700+ is so far off.
Thanks

Umm..ok, guess I will just hang with 1.06  
I've always been of the opinion, that if your attempting to fix something, then flash.  If a new flash doesn't fix the thing I'm trying to fix, then I skip it.
Thanks for the feedback.

  • Does OS X Yosemite really improve the security of your Mac?

    Does OS X Yosemite really improve the security of your Mac? OS X Mavericks seems pretty secure. Is it worth upgrading to ugly Yosemite?

    As long as Mavericks continues to get security updates, and you hate so many things about Yosemite, there isn't any reason to upgrade, although disabling the recommended Spotlight options takes care of most of the "snooping":

    You can also install Little Snitch to keep track of attempts to make outgoing connections and deny any that make you uncomfortable.
    Given your concerns about snooping, you probably shouldn't use anything from Google.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Installed Yosemite and now lost apps and also my App Store does not open. Does anybody know how to fix the problem?

    Some weeks ago, I installed OS X Yosemite, as shown on my App Store, that was a "System Update available for my IMac 2009". Followed all the steps, normally and installed it as I did many other times ago (with the Maverick, Mountain Lion, OS X).
    Just after the installation, I noticed that every single folder or program that depends on "Apple", stopped working.
    Examples: Office package opens normally, so as Firefox. But, IPhoto, ITunes, Safari and App Store itself do not.
    That is causing me fear, because even trying to reinstall Yosemite or return to the one I had before, using App Store became impossible. Even the "Apple Icon" on the top left corner does not work. I click, it flashes, just IF it was ready to open, but nothing happens, seams that have something stopping the "loading process" of the softwares.
    Does anybody know how to fix the problem, please?
    Thanks in advance. Regards.

    Thanks for your attention.
    I Tried before, but the Mac App Store was not responding either, and worse, after 5 years, There is no free phone support
    I ended up solving it by reinstaling the Yosemite pressing "comand + R"
    thanks anyway
    Regards

  • Possible fix for CPU temp problem found.

    Well, one day I decided to take the heatsink off of the nForce3 chip and put some good ol' Arctic Silver thermal compound on there.  I figured it might help with overclocking and whatnot.  When I took it off, look what I found(!):
    Imagine my surprise!  Why did they even bother?  Ridiculous.  After removing their mistake, I put some Arctic Silver on there and re-attached the MSI heatsink (someday I'll probably buy a much better one for it).  I've noticed after a couple of days (it takes a little while for the thermal compound to set in) that the CPU temp doesn't appear to fluctuate wildly anymore.  Before I was getting crazy jumps from 45C to 65C, but now it hovers around 45C-47C idle and a little over 50C stressed.  I've also noticed that my overclocks are a bit more stable now too.  For those of you wondering, I'm using BIOS v1.1 at the moment (haven't tried v1.42 yet).
    Can anyone confirm these findings?  Maybe something else I did fixed my CPU temp issue (I do fiddle with the BIOS quite a bit).  My guess is that the nForce3 has a part in determining/reporting the CPU temperature.
    I hope this actually is a fix for some of you out there, but don't get your hopes up too high until at least one other person can confirm my theory.

    It's very easy to remove the MSI plate. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers pinch the fins on the heat sink on one side together (one at the top, one at the bottom). You don't have to do it too much and be careful. This provides enough slack for the plate to drop out with some slight assistance. Well, that's how I did mine.
    I then attached a 40mm fan by screwing into the gaps between the two fins. Only on the one side mind (so 2 screws in total). It holds the fan fine, no rattling.  
    I have some Artic Silver adhesive and I did consider leaving the MSI plate in place and fixing the fan to it. But I wasn't sure how secure it would be. Plus the plate rattles already, imagine how it would behave with a fan stuck to it.  
    Unfortunately, I forgot to make a note of the NB temperature before I did it. And I can't for the life of me remember what it was. So I can't say, for sure, how it has effected the temperature. I'm sure it has though.  
    I suppose it's easy enough to disconnect the fan to find out. I might try that later...
    Running at 230x10 (stock = 200x10), MBM reports:
    Case = 37C
    CPU = 35C
    Sensor 3 = 49C
    The sensors are labelled by MBM, so I am assuming they respond to the correct items, ie the CPU temp is actually the CPU temp.
    This is after a hour or so with Azureus running, mIRC open, a couple of IE windows and SETI running at ~97% CPU
    When I take the side off to disconnect the fan again, I will take a picture.

  • Does 1.01 software update fix the freezing Apple logo porblem?

    Been on holiday since before this was released and therefore not hasd a chance to check. I have my iPod classic 160GB with me and it seems to be working sweetly with 4,000 tracks (30% of my library). This is the most I could ever sucessfully upload despite trying with 2 different models. I love the interface, even if it is slowish and the sound quality is good too. I don´t want to have to return another one, this time for a refund as will miss the good things about it.
    I return from holiday on Sunday and would like to think that the freezing issue has been reslove via the firmware update (or iTunes 7.4.2) but cannot find any confirmation of this. A lot of the posters with this problem appear to have gone away. Does this mean it´s fixed?

    Hello !
    I have a ipod classic 160gb, and i updated it to 1.0.1, but my itunes was 7.4.1 while synching. I have the apple-logo-freeze problem when i try to synch my whole library. The Update to 1.0.1 didn't change anything!
    So far i found out my ipod is working with "almost" all playlist synchronized, it's just one playlist-folder i can't synch or it will freeze. But i already tried to synch that folder first without the other music, then it works flawless, but when filling it up with the rest, it freezes again, it's really annoying, i can't localize the problem at all. It seems like the ipod won't work with all the playlists on it. Well, trying now to update itunes and do the whole thing again... for about the 9th time

  • Congrats Microsoft on STILL not fixing the CPU hog...

    Yup, been over a year now since  Microsoft have failed to fix the issue of their terrible version of Skype hogging CPU hogging/system freezing issue on Windiws 7 64 bit
    Can I get an answer from an employee as to why this STILL hasnt been fixed?
    If you buy a company and take over a product, you are meant to make it better NOT WORSE. 
    Microsoft have completely destroyed a once great program and they are too lazy and incompetent to fix small issues.

    What CPU hog? (see attached pic version 6.21) . Try to uninstall skype click to call. Run skype as it should be, in compact mode.
    Also I'd imagine having years of chat history won't help either, back it up, and clear history.
    For good messure check if you have any "addons" etc that might cause the issue, usually found in tools > settings > advanced at the bottom administre accces to skype (loosly translated, its the bottom link.)
    And at last do a full scan for malware etc that might also be a cause for cpu usage. Malwarebytes should suffice Malwarebytes home page.
    Hope you get this sorted.

  • What should be the cpu temp while exporting a 720p movie?

    Today i had my first shoot with iMovie and i exported a 720p movie. My macbook pro has i5 with 13 inch it came with lion pre installed. My  cpu temp was 80~83 and the fan was 3000~4300? Is that normal? what s your results?

    That temp and fan speed is fine.  I get those while playing a game called Zen Bound 2.

  • 845 PE-Max "NEW" Bios Flash "does it really fix the temp readings?"

    So MSI has been having problems with there Temp readings on there boards. So I was surprised to see that they just released a bios update to correct this issue. Of course I couldn't wait to download and flash the bios and see what effect it had. Everything went well, I popped into windows and (I'm testing Intel's stock HSF currently) and my temps dropped drastically????? Now this can't be correct either...
    Motherboard: 32c
    CPU: 29c
    Case 23c
    Now remember this is with the retail P4 2.53 HSF. With the new bios flash it shows a cooler temp than my Spark 7. And the Intel is only running at 2400RPM. Before the bios flash with the Intel HSF:
    Motherboard: 33c
    CPU: 40c
    Case 23c

    Well ran another test last night. Ran a CPU Burn-In test for 30 Minutes and the temp only hit 45c during the test. Obviously the new BIOS is incorrect. I find it impossible that the retail HSF on my P4 2.53GHz can keep it below 50c under max load. My Tt Spark 7 with Artic Silver II only kept it at 37c idle. I'm reading 28c Idle now using the retail HSF.
    MSI - ??????????????????????????

  • Does 1.6.2 really FIX all the outstanding issues in both QIP6216 and QIP7216?

    Can someone please confirm that ALL the know issues are fixed in with settop code 1.6.2 - in BOTH QIP6216 and QIP7216 settop boxes? 

    The link you just gave me DOES NOT address ALL the outstanding issues with the 7216 nor the 6216.  It doesnt mention the "Cannot locate network hub" issue, it doesnt address the "audio clicking issues".. it does not mention the "audio/video stuttering" issue on the 7216, should I go on...?  

  • Why does bios 1.8 not have the option for 1T timing?

    I was just wondering why I don't have the option with bios 1.8 in my k8n neo2 platinum to run 1T command rate?  I use it with memtest+ and a64tweaker and it works fine..  I just want to turn it on without software..

    look around some more on the forum, there have been some BIOS betas released and can be studied about that may help you if you need a fix now... I know were alll eagerly awaiting aBIOS that will enable dual core for Neo 2 plat, at least I am, but then again I don;t KNOW for sure you'll have too do some research

  • Why am I not able to type into my pdf files. Why is the cursor only appearing at he areas where there in no typing? I believe I know who's doing this, but can you fix the problem for me please?

    I cannot type into one of my pdf files. The cursor only appears where there is no typing. I believe there is foul play going on on my computer, Can you fix this problem?

    Hi Donna,
    Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this mystery! I hope it's not foul play.
    You say the problem is with just one of your PDF files? What version of Acrobat/Reader are you using? If you're in Reader, you're limited to commenting/annotating the PDF (you can't edit text with Reader, so you wouldn't be able to select text that's in the PDF already).
    Please let me know what program/tools you're using and we can take it from there.
    Best,
    Sara
