I have an ax6bc and ax63pro and want to know if there is other monitoring programs than the aopen sysmon included?

blackhawk:i havethe same two boards...i dont mind the aopen monitor it does the job,but i to wish mbm would work with it...the one other program i found for the ax63pro that is good is 'hardware sensors pro"..sorry i havent got a link,just do a search,youll find it easy :)...the problem really is aopen chose to use less well known hardware sensors(prob an attempt to cut costs)..but again,im learning to live with their hardware monitor coz it supports all the readings from the board,unlike most other programs...hope this helps.....

Glad to talk to someone with the same boards. I've got a c2 533@896 on the ax6bc with a gorb running at 25c and a p550e@770 running at 30c in the slot with a gorb on the ax63pro. One thing I've noticed is the fan speed report for the gorbs is all over the place, 4500 to 8200 rpm. I downloaded the hwmon 2.32 from aopen to update and also having random warnings of voltage and temp problems but all is normal.
Good boards though.

I've got an AX6BC Pro Gold - same story. I'm not sure if another software program is going to help, at least WRT CPU temp. The board doesn't report the CPU's on-die temp but something near it - that's the basic gripe - and no software can change that.

I swapped processors across the boards this am to see how high I could take the cel533 and noticed that the temp it was at at the same fsb on the via board was 6c higher and the p3 on the bx was 4c lower than on their respective boards.
I then swapped them back to even out the speeds and the temps went back to the old values. Bothe cases are the same with very similar cooling in the same spot (basement floor) so I can only account for it in the temp pickups on the slotkit and slot 1.
