I have a big favor to ask of you guys.
And im not saying this to down the product.
Its a bug im noticing on all the X6's as of his moment and i was wondering if its only limited to the people i actually asked.
(mark has confirmed his sensor is borked as well)
SO i am asking this public.
Can you guys shut down your system for about 15min.. wait for it to cool down completely.
Then turn the system on, and take a look at your idle temps when you boot right into windows.
Im hearing your sensors are all majorly borked, and its reading lower values then it should be. (sub ambient readings on ambient cooling...)
This can be dangerous unless you know the delta offset it is, because i heard from people who live on AMD telling me the MAX u want to go is 60C and not 80C like Intel.
But can we see how many people if applicable have a borked temp sensor on there X6?
This issue would be simular to intel's borked sensor on core 3... and how it always reads way lower then the others on the earily 920's.
Here is actually what I did. First, 3 different programs said under load that it was at 41c (18c ambient). So I killed everything. I waited a few minutes, until the temp started not changing for over a minute. It settled on 21c. Then I rebooted into bios. bios said 33c. Then I shut it off for an hour, and rebooted into bios. Said 31c. Then went to windows, fired everything up and back to 41c.
So my GUESS is that the software is reading 12c off, since I can;t find a motherboard temp program (gigabyte) and I guess my load temps are closer to 53c actual. Still great I think for 4127. My 920@3700 is over 60c, with twice the cooling on it !
