AM2 Progs

Grumpy · 21 Mar 2008 at 07:46

I have the GA-MA770-DS3 AM2+ mobo and cannot seem to find any of the normal info progs that work with it so that I can see temps/fan speeds/ etc.

Tried MBM (mobo not listed so can't configure), Everest(same), Coretemp (see cpu core temps nothing else.

Please advise.

Everest 4.20 will give all temps except core temps - like all Gigabyte AM2+ mbs the cpu temp is shown as the aux temp.
Coretemp should cover everything else.

Cheers, I'll dl that and check it out.

Also, can I manually increase the psu fan speed? I could cook an egg on the top of my case atm and it's not overclocked. My corsair hx620 seems to run very hot. My last psu had a rear fan but the corsair's is inside.

I fitted an AC64 freezer pro cpu cooler with the fan towards the rear of the case, is this right, it seems that the fan is blowing through the fins into the case rather than drawing the air through and exhausting out of the rear?

Seems I have fitted the cooler the wrong way round

Can I just take it off, spin it 180deg and refix, or should I clean off the goop and apply AS5 (which I have).
