MBM5 has a giant memory leak

I have 768 megs of ram in my machine and with only a few applications open I noticed that over half of my ram was being used. I opened up task manager to check out who the culprit is and to my surprise it was MBM5! It was sucking up over 140,000k! I let it be for a while and then came back to see it was using less than half of that. This morning I check its status and it's back to 98,000k! I'm using version 5.2.2.0 on WinXP FWIW.
 
5.2.1.0 here, and it's using 1,204KB right now; did you enable anything recently that might have caused this?
 
My computer's been up for about 24 hours now and MBM5 is using under 4MB. Version 5.2.2.0.
 
Hmmm... mine seems to fluctuate greatly. I was at an even 5000k earlier today and now I'm at 9888k. I am logging my temps, set to update every second, so I may be expecting more than some of you, but for it to balloon up like this is ridiculous. Anyone have any idea why?
 
ChampionAtTufShop, where did you find the peak amount of ram a program has used? That sounds useful. 🙂

Thugsrook, what would you reccommend as an alternative to MBM? As this incident seems isolated to me, it seems like a pretty solid program for everyone. My motherboard is a KT7a-raid, so Asusprobe won't work. 🙁
 
Abit hardware monitor dont work?
latest version?

that sux 🙁
i always recommend the software that comes with the board.
 
Are you sure that it's turning your fan off? MBM has recorded 0rpm for the fan in my antec truepower 330, but both were still spinning.

Is this after you installed the patch for the memory leak?
 
after 5-6hrs mine is only at 1524K lol

if there is a fix for a memory leak, you should have used it
try it now lol

//edit
if the fix is at the site, wait for the site to be fixed

i dunno
i would also like to konw for the new version of mbm5
the old one apparently doesnt need it from what im seeing (my, and others, ram usage seems to be pretty "normal")
 
MBMUPDATE.zip

I downloaded MBM5220.exe on January 25th, and at that time they said you should also download MBMUPDATE.zip to fix a memory leak, which I did. The previous version evidently did not have a memory leak.
 
MBM5 doesn't have any memory leak problems for me, but Coolmon eats RAM like a (insert something that eats a lot here) in Win2k Pro. After I caught it using almost 200MB of my precious 512MB of RAM, I said screw desktop stats and decided to wait until the new version of samurize (sp?) comes out.

sorry i didnt see this earlier lol

ctrl+alt+del>processes>view>select colums>peak memory usage
 
Ah, that's excellent Champion. Can someone email me this MBM update? Their site has been down for hte past day and I'm not sure when it'll be up.

Via HM tells me what the temps are, but there is no tray display that I can see, which is why I run MBM.
