There is no official Abit presence in this Newsgroup. As
a result, the *only* place that Abit make announcements
about their products is in their own forums on the Abit
Website.
See the Abit forums at: #
Under the Intel Chipset Socket 478 topic, you will find
several threads about temperature problems with the BE7,
the BH7 and the IC7/IC7-G.
One of those threads with the topic "Bad Temp Sensor on
BE7" contains a set of posts to/from Abit Marketing about
this very topic.
An acknowledgement of the problem and a reply from Abit
marketing includes comments about other motherboard
models as well.
Since the problem occurs across a wide range of different
Abit motherboards, it's obviously something basic in the
fundamental BIOS code used for the hardware monitoring
on many different Abit motherboards.
This means a thorough review of the foundation BIOS
code *may* be required -- so there's no guarantee of a
"quick fix".
Furthermore, once the appropriate fixes have been
developed, it may take a while to roll out the changes
through all the various Abit motherboard models.
Note: No further discussion on this topic will be
forthcoming from me unless there is substantial
delay on the rollout.
As far as I'm concerned right now, It's being handled.
Consequently, I am letting the solution-providers do
their job -- and staying out of their way while they do.
