even tho i consider most temp monitoring progs are inaccurate..
i find that MBM is the most accurate.
one fact to back this up is :

i use an external temp monitoring device, i put it between the ceramic and my HSF
and the readings are:
Asusprobe 44 C
MBM 5 48 C
external therm device 51 C

so i guess it's pretty accurate.
sorry, no pics my digital cam suckss !!

well.. i have a k7s5a, and i get various readings in bios (after flul load, idle, etc.) but in mbm, it's always 51C... and in the bios, i never get uver 46C (i got an sk-6 on a 1.4ghz)

<< Well I have tried MBM and it always said my processor was 32 degrees >>



You dont have it setup properly. You need to go through the sensor list until you find the one which relates to them all. Use the BIOS reading to help you. MBM is the best program out there IMO.

hmm,,, well, in the sensors, i only see 3 things and those are Custom, None, and SIS5595

I chose SIS5595 but the reading stays at 51C no matter what. Anyone have MBM set up with K7S5A?

Do you have the latest version? Could be that it does not fully support that chipset yet? Check the website, there may be info or even a plugin to add support for you chipset.
