I have an 8rda3+ and need to know how accurate the readings I get from it are. Also, when I downloaded Motherboard Monitor, I do not get any temperature readings or fan speeds from it. I have tried reinstalling it a couple of times, but it doesn't help. Is there something with the 8rda3+ that makes it incompatible?
 
Meh, they're good enough. Keep your CPU temps below 50ish Celcius....

(I'm in Mission BTW ;) )

There are no fixed rules as to what sensor shows what. It all depends on how the board makers have implemented the sensor chip for each motherboard.


Example: How to use Epox 8RDA+ onboard LED to display temperatures:

Right click on the MBM icon in your system tray and select 'Settings'

* General (left side of the window) > Basic (right side of the window) >

UNCHECK: Show confirmation request on closing MBM 5
CHECK: When MBM starts open the dashboard as well

Set the following menu option as double click: Settings

Scroll all the way down to 'Enable RD2Pro Support' and make sure it's CHECKED and >
Port '$80' and Sensor 1 is selected underneath


* Temperatures (left side of the window) >
MBM sensor: Sensor1 > Should display Board sensor: WinBond 2 (CPU Temp)
MBM sensor: Sensor2 > Should display Board sensor: WinBond 3 (Case Temp)
Now click on Apply in the lower left side of the window.



* Voltages, Visual:
Code 0 is Vdd
Core 1 is Vcore
+3.3 is Vdimm

* Fans
W83627HF-3 is CPU Fan


Separate dashboard displays may be rearanged my mouse click & drag.
