THIS THREAD IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING IN ONE PLACE THE MOTHERBOARDS THAT REPORT TEMPERATURES TO SPECCY INCORRECTLY
****************************************************TO WHOM DOES THIS APPLY***********************************************************
FOR THE MOST PART, THE SYMPTOMS OF THIS ARE SPECCY REPORTING INSANELY HIGH NUMBERS (OFTEN FOR CPU BUT IN A FEW CASES IT HAS BEEN NOTED ON OTHER COMPONENTS)
*******************************************INFORMATIONAL STUFF************************************************
Speccy (a Software-Layer gets its information from the Windows Management Instrumentation service (a Hardware-to-Software-OS-Layer based Translator), which in turn gets it's information from the Hardware-Layer (your devices).
It may be, that somewhere along the chain (HWlayer-Translator-SWlayer) the language gets confused (think of a game of what American's call "Telephone").
The first step you should take is to make sure your BIOS is up to date. How to do this varies by machine or motherboard manufacturer. So visit your OEM (such as Dell, HP, Toshiba Etc) or, if this is a self-made machine, Motherboard Manufacturer and learn how to achieve this step.
Continue reading if/when you have completed step one and the readings are still incorrect
Because each HWlayer is different, Piriform, the Developers of Speccy, must have specific information from your Speccy:
Manufacturer
Model
Version
Chipset Vendor
Chipset Model
Chipset Revision
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- DO NOT PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION THAN THAT UNLESS ASKED BY DEVELOPERS
- DO NOT EXPECT DEVELOPERS TO REPLY. THEY MAKE ALL EFFORTS TO MONITOR ALL THREADS BUT WILL ONLY INTERACT IF THEY REQUIRE MORE INFORMATION OR TO INFORM A SPECIFIC MEMBER THAT THEIR BUG SHOULD BE SQUASHED (note: this rarely happens don't expect it to happen).
- DO NOT BUMP OR POST MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME UNIT. IF YOU HAPPEN TO NOTE THAT A FEW POSTERS UP (or, dare say, you read every entry in what promises to be a long thread) MENTIONED THE EXACT INFOMATION YOU ARE GOING TO REPORT, THIS GOES AS WELL.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN PART OR ALL OF YOUR POST BEING EXCISED.
