Monitoring software for Asus P4S333?

Does anyone know of a motherboard/cpu temperature monitoring program that
actually works with this board? (Asus P4S333 - BIOS ver. 1004). I've tried these
programs with no success:

- Asus Probe (gives me 40°C constantly, no matter what I do)
- Motherboard Monitor 4
- Motherboard Monitor 5
- Asus Tempster
- some other shareware ones

Hardware Monitor seems to be working fine (usually gives me 31.5°C), but
nothing else seems to be able to access the right sensors. It would be nice to
know how hot my P4 1.8A is at 100% usage before I even think about
overclocking it. Thanks.

I have found that SiSoft Sandra (version 2002.1.8.59) has the temps listed in the Motherboard section, scroll down about half way.
They seem to work too..started at 27.5 and after 10 loops of 3dmark2001 it was at 32.5

P4B266 was the same way. Motherboard monitor showed the cpu cooler than the mobo. Couldn't believe any of the temps from any source.

MBProbe is fairly accurate for some temps for any sis 645 board. Try it, and see how it configures itself to your board.

asus pcprobe 2.16 works.

the 40c is a minimum temp (its stuck there) however it will go higher to tell you your max cpu temps.

my max CPU temp is 46C.

Gonna bump this up to the top because I've been looking for good monitoring software for my Asus P4S333 as well recently. For some reason, the current version I'm using reports a 1.616 voltage for my CPU even though I have it set to 1.575. I'm pretty sure Asus Probe is reporting it correctly but I was hoping to keep my voltage down. It used to be that my CPU, 1.8A@2.4, would hit 53C at load.. Now it's doing 56+ which bugs me and the only way I can account for the heat increase is the voltage which used to run at just under 1.6v before.
