What do YOU use to monitor temps?

[KCarter335]

Taking a survey... What monitoring software do you guys use? Whats the "best" freeware to use? I've been using ASUS Probe, but the consensus seems to be that it's a little off. What do you think?

Across the full spectrum of Chipsets, Motherboard Monitor, but I tend to use the VIA HArdware Monitor supplied with the Abit board personally.

Via Hardware Monitor.

[MacGyver]

Nothing. I used to use mbprobe, but since my case temp never gets above 30 degrees C, I don't bother anymore.

I"ve been using Asus Probe, but as you've said...not very reliable. I only use it now to see if the temps are any different. I don't really care what the temp is, as long as it is stable and doesn't burst into flames

I used to use MBM5 which can be found <a href="http://www.voodoofiles.com/getit.asp?id=177&g=1&d=12&s=754908178">here</a>. Now I use an external probe that is great and relatively cheap. It can be found at PCMods <a href="http://www.pcmods.com/details.asp?ProdID=220">here</a>.

I have used MBProbe. You can find it here URL=http://web.bham.ac.uk/jst829/mbprobe/]MBProbe[/URL]

Hope this link works, first time I have posted one!! :-)

This little util is great, and the developer is looking for feedback to improve. He is very helpful.

Hope this helps.

Sorry.
That was cruel

*looks for atonement*

Personally I use VIA HM whenever I can.

I use Motherboard Monitor 4.

Hi.

I've used the VIA one, but I found that it reported the temperatures way higher than what the BIOS said they were. I can't remember what the temps were, but if it had have been running at the temps that reported, it probably would have been dead-and it isn't!!!!!!!

I now use MBM5 and it is an extremely good piece of software in my opinion. The temperatures that it reports are pretty much bang on what the BIOS says.

Hope this helps.

Strange that you should say that as when I have had both open at same time, to see if any difference, they have both reported the exact same temperatures.

Screen capture of both with system under full load to test (MBM reporting 0% load as it needed restarting after adding the Sensor, which I never done ).

[Larommi]

I use whatever came with my Asus.

[Outcoded]

I used to use ViaHM, but didn't like it MBM5 is much better (though if anyone knows a way to monitor the -ve voltage lines using it, I'd love to hear it).

[Silverman]

I used to use MBM 5 but I recently purchased a new Industrial case with built in hardware monitoring Temps and Voltages up front in real time.
