PC Probe vs SpeedFan

[PCDummy]

My ASUS P5Q Pro main board has the ASUS PC Probe II utility which monitors the vital components and gives alerts for problems and monitors fan rotations CPU temps etc. SpeedFan pretty much does the same thing. Which one would be considered best for the job?

Real Temp or Core Temp for cpu, PC Probe for motherboard.

pc probe is only good for a few things.

1. CPU Core Voltage.
2. RPM on your CPU fan header.
3. Possibly NB temp.
4. Any RPM on fans you have connected to headers.
5. if your into monitoring voltages..

Realtemp is only good for getting the DTS off the Core so you get coretemp.
Same with coretemp.

Speedfan was nice, however PC Probe is nicer because it lets you put each catigories in nice little boxes and you can move them to a side of your screen.

i only use pc probe to enable/disable fan control without rebooting. i use core temp and real temp until speedfan is set up, then only speedfan.
