Program to monitor chipset temperature

[willy]

Just wondering if there's any program that can watch temperature for NB, CPU PLL, FSB term etc.

Thanks

speedfan, coretemp, pc wizard depending on the amount of detail you want

Got speedfan and coretemp but only CPU temp?

hwmonitor is good

Ive wandered about this as well, i use coretemp for temperature readings and also have hw monitor and asus pc probe2, hw monitor lists, SYSTIN TEMPERATURE 25'c and pc probe lists mb as 25'c, i assume theese are the same reading, also i take it this isnt the NB chip reading, although i used a temp probe on my NB heatsink once and it was reading 30'c.

It depends on the board as well. Some boards (like mine ) don't even have a temp sensor in the NB.

Yeah got hwmonitor as well but it doesn't say about NB, etc temp.

So is it depend on the board then?

MCHTemp might be worth a shot?

The language is in Russian but it's still easy enough to read the temp display.

My mobo reports System Temp 40oc, is this the NB temp or is there a probe on the motherboard somewhere that measures the ambient temp inside the case so to speak? As its reported as system temp it seems abit kryptic

I downloaded Bizarre's MCHTemp for the P35 chipset and it says I'm at 83C* under load. That can't be right, the copper on the board doesn't feel that hot, its only at 3.6Ghz too.
I've now set it to the absolute maximum 4.1Ghz which uses much higher voltages for everything since its an old C0 and the MCHTemp only reaches 78c, very odd.
I'm doing some research into NorthBridge stability as I believe it is overlooked and could cause nasty surprises for some if it errors. Burn test and Prime don't test the Northbridge, I've come up with my own special stability test which is more sensitive than Burntest.
