Temp monitoring on a Alb. 845PEV...

OK, just finished putting my new machine together and have thus far been delighted with how easy it was to get it to OC.

I am presently running a 2.4b at 2.88 with the voltage bumped up from 1.525 to 1.55 and the RAM running at DDR400. In the bios, it shows the chip running at @42C. However, I am really wanting to see what it is runing at during something like prime95 or something else CPU intensive to see if I need to upgrade from the stock fan or if I can push it a little more with just the stock fan.

Problem I am having, is I have not been able to find a temp. monitor that seems to read this board correctly, or I am just not setting it up properly.

I tried MBM5, one sensor reads 36C, the others are all in the negative, unless I run prime, then a sensor jumps from -9C to well above 75C.

I have also tried a couple others, but have not yet found one that seems to work really well.

Anyone know of one that works well for that board, or if MBM5 does the job, which sensors should I enable for monitoring?

Thanks in advance...

Case Sensor - Winbond 1

CPU Sensor - Winbond 2 diode

OK, gave that a try and the temp varies between -19C and 80C winbond diode 2.

Obviously, this is not correct...anyone else have better luck with this particular board?

That info came straight from MBM's web site for your board.

Go get latest version of speedfan...Temp 1 is cpu temp and temp 3 is system temp and temp 2 is bogus.....usually says 70c and doesn't move regardless of loading conditions. Obvioulsy bogus since 70c should start throttling and that is at idle so load woul be in the 80's and definitely this board would crap out...
