Most of the mother boards I've looked at (not many) have a big does-everything clock generator chip. In particular, it includes some spread-spectrum magic to reduce EMI. Does anybody know the temperature characteristcs of that spread spectrum area? If I fed that chip a solid clock, could I still measure the temperature by plotting the drift from NTP? I've been daydreaming of a similar hack - get a good clock onto a PCI card with a FPGA. I'll say more if anybody is interested. -- The suespammers.org mail server is located in California.
