Temp monitor for Asus CUSL2-C

[Moose]

Isn't there a temp monitor for the Asus CUSL2-C. The Asus probe sometime measures 10C lower than the bios!! I've got none of the ones i've found to work, they usually say something like chipset not surported. So is there a prog out there that shows the right temp?

Have you tried Motherboard Monitor 5?

Nope, where can I find it?

Thanx

Found it and installed it. It shows the same temp as the Asus probe but still 5-10C lower than the Bios. Which one should I trust?

I have an Asus Cusl2 and it does the same thing, my cpu temp is said to be at 15C in a room with like 23c and just using fans. So that is obviosely wrong, unfortunatly my comp is awaiting some new **** in the mail so I can't check bios now (NEW RAM!). But if you find out a way to get an accurate cpu temp let me know.

The CUSL2 temp probes notoriously suck. This problem has been corrected to some extent with BIOS upgrades, and upgrades to the equally notorious AsusProbe utility.

MBM 5.x is supposed to accurately recognize the BIOS-corrected temps, and is probably your best bet. (Warning: do not run AsusProbe and MBM simultaneously - I forget exactly why, but it's bad.) If you get the temps right in the BIOS, at least MBM will let you dial in a compensation.

Read up for a while on the forums at http://cusl2.efront.com/ ; this is a famous issue. Good luck.
