What temperture monitering programs do you use?

Chris19 · 17 Jan 2006 at 00:59

currently iam useing PC Wizzard 2006 but i dont really trust it all too much as it shows an overclock to an AMD64x2 3800+ at 2.3Ghz at 49oC under load on air.

Is there any decent ones that you can reccomend?

Most motherboard manufacturers have there own monitoring software.

What motherboard do you have? You could try 'Motherboard Monitor'. Just google it.

i use speedfan, only been using it a few days and it seems quite good.

i use "speedfan" or you could try MBM5

MBM with lots of tweaks, tips, and add-ons for DFI users:

Highly customisable. You could have some fun here!

MBM5 here, gives u everything u need

Asus Probe.

Used SpeedFan beforehand though.

I use NVtune which seems ok, I think MBM5 reports more stuff though.

SensorsView, I've found it's the most stable monitoring s/w for my chipset.

Sorry to barge in, but wanted to ask a question about fan control/monitor units.

Are they worth the dosh? There's a luvverly little Silverstone number (FP52) that would go wonderfully with my Sugo (when I get it...) and it's pretty cheap. I thought it might come in handy, seeing as I won't be using the other 5.25" bay.

farooqm and littledave - The first post of this thread has a link to download a MBM5 file that is customised to work with an A8N Premium. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17447769

Nice one mate.. let's hope it treats my poor little a8n sli 'standard' board
with care.. will give it a go ...

I gave MBM to a mate once and APPARENTLY it made his cpu temp shoot up and his PC shutdown. TBH I've never had this (And never heard of it happening) but tbh he's a bit of a noob so he probably selected the wrong MB model and it just read the temps stupidly as a result. MBM recommended tho tbh.

littledave · 17 Jan 2006 at 23:17

Ive just given it a try and its reporting my tempsa at 32*C CPU & 40*C Chipset, does that seem right to you guys?

Yes, mine is currently at 43 degrees for the CPU and 41 degrees for the chipset but I have been running Prime95 for the last 10 minutes.

Whats the highest your chipset has been. I've had it upto 47c BUT the room temps were about 26c already.
