Hi All, I have an Intel D850MV motherboard. There is an ADM1025A sensor chip on the motherboard. Also there is an LPC47M142 I/O chip on the motherboard. My CPU is a Pentium 4 CPU, 1.7GHz. The following is a sample output for my lm-sensors software. --------------------------------- $ sensors adm1025-i2c-0-2d Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at efa0 +2.5V: +2.49 V (min = +2.25 V, max = +2.75 V) VCore: +1.68 V (min = +1.66 V, max = +1.84 V) +3.3V: +3.30 V (min = +2.97 V, max = +3.63 V) +5V: +5.13 V (min = +4.50 V, max = +5.50 V) VCC: +3.30 V (min = +2.97 V, max = +3.63 V) CPU Temp: +35.0?C (low = +10?C, high = +60?C) M/B Temp: +34.0?C (low = +10?C, high = +45?C) vid: +1.750 V (VRM Version 9.0) smsc47m1-isa-0800 Adapter: ISA adapter fan1: 3233 RPM (min = 640 RPM, div = 8) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 640 RPM, div = 8) -------------------------------------------------------------- I am interested in the temperature readings from the sensor chip. There are two temperature readings: CPU temp and M/B temp. According the ADM1025A datasheet, I think the M/B temp is the on-chip sensor in the ADM1025A chip, and the CPU temp is the External Temperature Measurement with Remote Diode. My question is: Where is this remote diode located? Is this remote diode the internal thermal diode inside the Pentium 4 CPU chip, or a thermal sensor provided by the motherboard which is attached to the CPU chip very closely? I downloaded the manual of Intel D850MV motherboard from Intel's website, but could not get the answer to my question. I opened the computer case, removed the CPU fan, and saw the CPU and the ADM1025A chip sit together on the motherboard, but I could not see from the circuit board whether the PIN 9 and 10 (the two pins connected to the remote diode) of ADM1025A chip are connected to the internal thermal diode inside the Pentium 4 CPU chip. Any suggestions are very welcome. Thank you! Regards, Yongkui -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
