Freeware Motherboard Temperature Monitor

Hi.

After my computer fell to the brink of death, I was forced to replace my Motherboard and CPU with new, recent items using an AM2 socket and an PCIe slot (a major upgrade from my old motherboard that used A socket and an AGP slot). Unfortunately, while the upgrade has radically improved my computer's performance, I can no longer use the excellent Motherboard Monitor program due to the fact they stopped upgrading their program for new chipsets. I was wondering if you guys could suggest any alternatives in the Freeware area. My motherboard is a GA-M61SME-S2, and my CPU is an AMD Athlon X2 2.1 GHz dual core.

Oh, and I need a program that doesn't require Yahoo! Widgets or other internet access like SpeedFan Temperature Monitor 5.0.

'Hope that this can be added to the Freeware list.

Cheers.
 
I looked at your search and was confused when there were two different SpeedFans. Redid my search on Softpedia and found out that the version I found was simply a widget that uses the original SpeedFan for Yahoo! Widget Engine fans.

SpeedFan Temperature Monitor 5.0

The current actual SpeedFan version is a beta, 4.34, but 4.33 is still available.

SpeedFan 4.33

SpeedFan 4.34 Beta

Oh, and I found the link to the HW Monitor link on Google:

HW Monitor

I'll check each of these out and see which one works best for me. Thanks for the suggestions so far.
 
doesn't matter.
it didn't save ur last pc did it?
new cpu's throttle on excessive temp, many m/b have features for shut off or whatever if fans fail.
its not important.
 
Oh, uh, clarification: HW Monitor is shareware, not freeware. Seems like an excellent program, but I need something that requires no internet access.

I'll see about testing SpeedFan soon.
 
Whoa, uh, oops? The program I found was Hmonitor, not HWmonitor.

<feels extremely stupid> 😕

My bad, people.

Despite my screw up, I found out that SpeedFan 4.33 works brilliantly, just what I needed. I added it to my start up and set the program to minimize when it opens, so I have the overall PC temperature icon going when I start Windows. Just like Motherboard Monitor, only in blue instead of red.

😀

Anyway, I'll be sure to add our findings to the Freeware Programs Thread. Cheers.
