my computer wont detect my cpu temp.. even when i use motherboard monitor.. why?

[foolanger]

i can't figure the temp of my comp.. i installed motherboard monitor but it says nothing.. doesn't even tell me the rpm of my fan.. whats going on?

Maybe your motherboard doesn't support monitoring functions. Give us some more information on your system.

i have a celeron 633, a TYAN trinity 400, voodoo 3 2000, SB live value, and an ehternet card

motherboard monitor tells me that i have a voltage error? what does that mean?

When you say 'my fan', I'm assuming that it is the fan on the heatsink. Does the fan have a 3- or 4-pin power connector? 4-pin (Molex) connectors don't support RPM monitoring. RPM monitoring is on the yellow wire of a 3-pin fan power cable.

Can you detect the temp of either the processor or ambient?

Voltage error of what? Where?

 

[Howard]

DP

 

[foolanger]

it says voltage configuration error on the mother board monitor thing

 

[foolanger]

the wire is a 3 pin.. and i see the yellow wire.. should i try changing voltage in my monitor? if so how?

mobo monitor also says taht i dont' have a main sensor chip.. i have the celeron 633. is that right? am i doign something wrong?

It appears that your motherboard does not support monitoring functions. You are SOL.

 

[foolanger]

sol? i have the tyan trinity 400? what does SOL mean?

 

[dkozloski]

sh!t outa luck. Up the well known tributary, without the equally well known implement.

Since the VIA133A chipset lacks the ability to read internal diode temp off a p3, and it appears that hte mb lacks on mb thermistors(which are highly inaccurate anyways), it looks like you're out of luck.

the tyan trinity 400 is not supported in Motherboard monitor. I had the motherboard sold it for a Soyo SY-6VBA133 and just now sold the Soyo for an Asus CUSL2 or Asus A7V.. can't wait!!!!! Now only if the buyer of my stuff would write me back.

damn yahoo
