I'm not sure about some of > the details. We did not receive any configuration file, but Fred Riedel and Sam Elstob (CC'd) have a similar board and may have some information to share. > E.g. Vcore1 is 1.42V, Vcore2 2.61V. Is this reasonable for an AMD64 CPU? 1.42V is reasonable as Vcore (most AMD64 CPUs seem to use +1.4V nominal at full frequency). If the CPU supports "Cool 'n Quiet" it can scale its voltage down to +1.1V or so. The exact values are model-dependant. 2.61V is not Vcore2 (AMD64 CPUs are not dual-planed AFAIK) but more likely Vdimm (the memory modules voltage). > Where is the M/B temp sensor located? I don't believe its 25?C when the > room temperature is 27?C. I have an AMD64 motherboard from Gigabyte which has its temperature stuck at 25 degrees C. I asked Gigabyte about it and they confirmed the lack of actual motherboard temperature sensor. 25 degrees C being the equilibrium temperature of most thermistor-based temperature measurements, I think they soldered two resistors of equal value instead of one thermistor and one resistor. No idea why they did do that, as the saved expense is certainly neglectible. > The CPU temp is about 2?C to low when compared with BIOS. Mosty likely because your BIOS idle state is less idle that your Linux idle state.
