CPU Temperature

[DrStrangelove]

First you must excuse me for a noob - but beyond that, are there any software soloutions for figuring out your cpu temp.?

My motherboard is an ASUS A7V133 and my chip is a 900mghz T-Bird Socket A.

-- And if there arnt any exclusively software solutions can someone reccomend a hardware one? I dont have enough $$$ to get a new motherboard with a thermostat :-/

you can get motherboard monitor there . it does almost everything for u. no need to buy new stuff :D

nvm - im a moron *note to self - read the instructions on the box :D*

[deathstar13]

nope and im glad u asked the question. becouse many others will have the same question also. and yeh im sure your board has all the nesicary stuff also. just most people would never know these things out side of here

[DrStrangelove]

how do you know witch temp. in your system tray is for what?

[deathstar13]

my cpu is senser 1 -is set to board senser via686b2 thats the cpu.
now this will change in certain mobos but i almost sure yours is this.
senser 2- via686b-1 thats case temp
senser3-via686-3 this is your north bridge
all these are in the section titled temps in mbm 5

temperatures in mbm 5? I dont see it. my temperatures read the following - 89, 116, -25 my motherboard cpu has no fan so im 'guessing' that thats the 116 one and then im guessing that the 89 is my chip... but -25?

MBM can show 3 sensors but I only get a good reading from 2 (winbond 1 and winbond 2 - P2), when I try the 3rd (winbond 3) I get nothing or some way weird number

You might need to buy or create a thermal sensor, which you then have to connect to your board, check your board manual for a connector, if there is on then either buy a thermal probe or create one with the help from virtualhideout, who have this site: http://www.virtualhideout.net/guides/thermistor/index.shtml

*sigh*

just a guess but I would think that the 116 is your cpu,
89 is your motherboard,
-25 is your case temp (probe probably missing)

[DrStrangelove]

really? i just guessed because my motherboard northbridge chip had no fan :-/


^needs more cooling

good luck, i was running a similar setup that didn't exactly run the coolest. I never got to run much cooler than 41 idle and that was with a better cpu fan and extra case fans. T-birds just run hot...Good luck.

You could also try Asus Probe. It comes with asus motherboards.
