Just built a new PC and am having some troubles with it. I was looking for a monitoring program (to watch voltages/CPUD temps) that would work with my motherboard and decided to try a few out. When trying them, I keep getting off readings. For example, the CPU temp fluctuates WILDLY. It will go from -7degC to 150degC. I thought maybe it was reading the wrong sensor, so I played around a little bit and tried different programs. The same is true for the other temp readings of all the programs. The fan speeds appear to be fine for all 3 readings. Also, the Voltages appear screwy. The +12V rail reads at 5V and the -12V rail reads at -10V, etc. I used MotherboardMonitor5, speedfan, system guardian, sisoft sandra, and a few others. Everything seems to be fine in the BIOS with regards to these same readings. I would really like to be able to see these things from the OS as I plan to overclock!
Also, when checking CPUID, it reports the multiplier at 8.5 and the ref clock at 213mhz. Another odd thing is when I tried to overclock by increasing the ref clock to 250mhz (lowering the mult and the mem accordingly), I checked with CPUID and found it still had lts multiplier at 8.5 and the ref clock was still 213? I thought maybe it was related to cool'n'quiet, so I disabled it and tried again. It still did the same thing. Any ideas here?
BTW, using a sempron 3100+ on an ECS nforce4-a754. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!
