my p35-ds3p is probably dead after being tortured with too much V. keep restarting after mobo send for rma.

anyway, does this board has any serious issues? might snatch one next month.

normally the measuring diode is located near cpu socket and assume it's cpu temp, which is not accurate.

afaik, mobo cant give temp reading based on cpu internal diode, the TJmax reading.

download coretemp latest version. it should have Tjmax set accordingly to intel spec. imho, it should be identical to ur Tpower2 reading.

change sata to native ide mode?

after doing backup, switch back to sata. sata have many conflict with a lot of backup software. i'm using Ghost 11
