[Impr3ssiv3]

i have speedfan but i dont know which one is my CPU

i have 3 "IT8712F"

Number #1 with SpeedFan. The second one is the board temp.

Motherboard Monitor is a good alternative.

SpeedFan is a good reliable freeware. That's one of the better ones for a large number of makes and models.

ok i figured it out on speedfan now

my temps are around 40 idle and 60 load

with fsb@218 and multiplier@11x

The most reliable source would be to check your BIOS, IMO.

And if that make and model board doesn't have a hardware monitor in the bios?

seeing that you have a Asus motherboard... use asus's pc Probe II

I run both the Probe II and Probe that was downloaded direct. The earlier version is easier to bring up on screen while you have to click on a few extras it seems with the Probe II. Just a note there. But one question is how that site has Probe II v1.03.01 while the Asus support site has Probe II V1.01.01? http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

how should i know? Maybe Asus's site isnt up to date atm... i have 1.03.01 installed,. and that came with the CD of my motherboard

 

[PC eye]

I wouldn't worry about that since Probe II 1.01.01 came with the cd here. At first I had it set for the cpu and board temps on detachable displays that you could move around like icons. But I already have enough wavs assigned to different functions. The earlier version doesn't have any sounds with it.

No it probably isn't cause you can't really tell what the temps are on a load cause theres nothing to put a load on your pc.

 

[PC eye]

The idea of SpeedFan and others is to monitor temps while Windows is running. When and if you are able to minimize a full screen app or game you can check on the cpu temps there. Otherwise you would be rebooting the system every so many minutes just to go to the hardware monitor to see what it shows.

where do u find the download for PC Probe on the ASUS website

 

[PC eye]

Once you are at the http://www.support.asus.com support site's main page seen there you simply click on the downloads link and select product: board, type: 939 or 940 or AM2 or whatever, and model number: A8N SLI or another and press the search button. That will bring you to a page with several sections with one for the Latest, driver updates, bios, manual, all, and utilities. You will find only the Probe II at this time there.
