Just upgraded from an Asus M3N72-D to an Asus Crosshair 3 mobo and I have always used CPUID hardware monitor to display temps of the CPU cores etc.

If I now start this package and try to monitor the Crosshair board I get all core temps as zero (same AMD CPU)? Tried a fresh re-install but that seems to have made no difference.

I would prefer this package as the Asus probe system is a bit clunky in comparison.

:confused:

When you changed motherboards did you do a fresh install of windows to avoid any driver conflicts?
Also, try looking at the TPIN temperature, that's usually the true CPU temp.
 
Ignore the core temps they're only guessed by software, your looking for a sensor called either TMPIN0/1/2. On both Gigabyte boards I've had its TMPIN1 and the Asus board it was TMPIN1. Easiest way to find out is load the processor with Prime95 while watching temperatures. The one which rises the fastest will be your CPU temp.

Aaaah, no. As it was with the M3N72. If I insert the Win XP Pro disk will that just tidy up or mean I have to reinstall everything on the HDD? Whenever I have built up a PC from scratch it has been from the barebones up - until now.

Not sure where I will find 'TMOIN0/1/2' but CPUID shows 'CPU' temp at 29 Deg.C as does the Asus probe software. Last time I tried to run Prime95 it wouldn't run for some reason. I will give it another go and see how it pans out.

So there is no option such as erase no longer used drivers? New drivers have been loaded anyway for the MoBo which (I would have assumed) would overwrite the old ones? This MoBo also replaces an older Asus which also replaced an even older Asus. Same HDD and I never wiped and re-installed.

Single point CPU temp monitoring is working though with the exception of the core temps.

Prime95 has now been running (blend) for >2hrs and CPU temp. hasn't risen above 47 Deg.C.
