I am attempting to set up MBM for my AK31A mobo.
I went to the web site and fond the info for the AK31, and it listed the following:

Primary Sensor: W83697HF
Case Sensor: Winbond 1
CPU Sensor: WInbond 2

I went into the MBM settings and found no W83697HF listed, so I set the following:

Sensor 1 to Winbond 1 (for the Case)
Sensor 2 to WInbond 2 (for the CPU)

As far as fans go, I am using the Dr. Thermal TI-V77 (70mm) CPU cooler, 2 front intake fans, 2 rear exhaust fans (including the PSU fan), a duel fan hard drive cooler, chipset fan, and v-card fan.

I then proceeded to run the Prime 95 torture test for about 4 hours. During this run, I also ran several sets of 5 Sandra 2001 CPU Burns, and the Sensor-2 (CPU, I think) went from 35c to 38c but never above 38c.

The case went from 25c up to 27c but never higher.

The CPU temp seemed to low, and I got nervous, so I shut down the Prime 95 torture test.

Can anyone verify if I have the sensores set up correctly, and if these temps are reasonable?

Sensor 1 is cpu senser, and I use winabond 2. Senser 2 is system senser, and I use winabond 1. With thermalright sk6, I get cpu temps of 43-49, and system temps of 28-32 celcius.

OK then,

Winbond 2 is the CPU sensor and Winbond 1 is the Case seinsor.

Again, I ran the Prime95 torture test for 4 hours, and during that time I ran several runs of 5 times through the Sandra 2001 CPU burn, and according to these seinsors,

1) My case is held at 25c to 27c
2) My CPU is held at 35c to 38c

Is that a normal vor a Duron 700 at (142 x 7) 994mhz?

Yes, your cpu temps can be that low for duron 700 with a good heatsink.

I have same settings with MBM, and an Athlon 1.4 T-Bird, temps run around 40c for CPU and 23c for case.. running at 10.5x143@1.51g.. awesome board so far.
