I just downloaded MBM 5.x and am trying to get my cpu temperature because in my bios under Cpu Temp. its sayin N/A... But I looked at MBMs mobos listing for sensors and mine is not listed under the asus listing. (My Mobo asus P3V133 - http://www.asus.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Pentiumpro/P3v133/jumper.html) I have winbond 1 2 and 3 sensors selected (only sensors i can select) and winbond 1 is running at 25c and winbond 2 and 3 are both at -47c. Are these correct?? and what would you say each winbond sensor goes to? Thanks

Hi MattLN03, wellcome to the Forum,
The WinBond1 reports a temperature beliveable, not WinBond2 & 3, so at this point I suggest you to E-Mail to Alex Van Kaam.
About the Cpu temps not reported into the Bios, mean that there's not the sensor on Mobo for the Cpu, but you can use an external thermal sensor.

I hope it helps you ;)

Alex is the writer of MBM; an external thermal sensor is a sensor to monitor the temperature of every kind of stuff, also your Cpu and is installed, without the matel clip, between the cooler & the Cpu Core, and you can buy this sensor in the Pc shop's.
The Mobo's generally have an input properly made for this kind of sensor, but if haven't this feature, well you can buy a thermal sensor into electronic shops that have to the other side a LCD display that shows the temp ;)

I hope it helps you.

P.S. what kind of Cpu are you using?

Did you get that board new(many moons ago) ? That Asus board reads the thermal diode built into the proc. You should have a cd with the software from Asus to go with it. If not, you can indeed add a thermistor and plug it in at a header JTCPU. This and much more info can be found in yer manual. If ya don't have this, it can be D/L'ed from the Asus site. :)
