NF7 2.0 bios 17 - higher temp. readings

[melon]

Hi there!!!!
Just reflashed bios 16 to 17, NF7 v2.0 mobo. And now CPU temp. readings are higher by about 5 degC. Have you experienced that? Abit states that new bios has different temp. calibration, but I'd like to have lower temps

I see BIOS 18, 19 and 20 here: [looks like a new one every day] http://www.abit.com.tw/abitweb/webjsp/english/download_content.jsp?pTITLE=NF7&#Bios

These are bioses for non 2.0 mobos. The latest one for 2.0 is 17.

That's the corrected temp calibration

The Bios 17 temperatures are accurate, with the 15 and 16 bios temperatures were reported far too low. Remember it's not changing the actual temperature of the cpu, just the way it's reported. If you want inaccurate temperature reporting by all means go back to the old bios.
