Motherboard Monitor 5

How true do you think this program is?
I have no way of testing for my self so tell me how it works for you so I have a idea.

Thanks Devil

I found that on my KT7A the in socket thermistor was reading temps up to 10C lower than the real temperatures!! I dont know how accurate the one on my KX7 is because I now have temp sensor on my cpu with a digital lcd display on my case.

MBM only reports what the board sensors are reporting, so if you have a board with crappy sensor implementation like my BD7II, you'll get crappy readings. Just read around and see what boards people are complaining about and you'll get a better idea of which ones seem to be more accurate.

mbm5 temperature same as my temperature in bios.Great

alot of people don't relize that but they are the same as your bios because the read the same diode

MBM has the allowance to correct the reading, so if you can get a true reading from an external probe, you can calibrate MBM to show the exact temp.....

I use MBM, and find it highly useful when pushing hardware to the limit.

Unless a calibrated external probe is mounted against the cpu core I take all temperature measurements with a grain of salt

The hardware may work fine, but if the software calibration is off the reading will still not be completely accurate.

Which is why I am not too bothered by my temps being higher or lower than those reported by others- MBM5, DigiDoc, or however they are taken.

While I don't think that temp comparisons from one system to another are highly accurate, the most important thing to me is keeping an eye on MY system(s): if one pc shows a sudden increase of 10c then I know that something is wrong.

That is the main use I put temp readings to: health monitoring.
