ASROCK temp sensor?

[bennny]

Does anyone know what program I should use to show me the temp of my CPU. I have a ASROCK dual SATA 939 mb. Thanks!

Go to the ASROCK website and see what kind of utilities they have that you can download. AFAIK you'll be limited to whatever they provide you.

You can also check in your BIOS - it won't give you a temp under load, but at least you'll know what your idle is and your load shouldn't exceed that by more than 10-15 degrees in most cases.

Sorry - I meant to edit and hit the wrong button in my haste. I'm not trying to spam up my posts I swear...

speedfan

second speedfan, I had that board, I used that program.

A point worthy of mention, I've recently moved to a DFI Ultra-D, and my temps are significantly lower (like, 5 degrees+ at idle)

Most ultra-ds have v.good temp readings, and a friend of mine also with an Ultra-D and a 3800+ (i've got a 4400+) is seeing similar temps. So i'd say the temp sensor on that board may read a bit high. Well, it did on my one.

true that, thanks for the replies guys! O, and on my main rig, which is on the msi neo4 plat sli, i am at a load temp of 30c after 5 hours of css!!
