ASUS PC Probe will not work with WIN2K on my ASUS P3B-F. I have tried all the updates available from ASUS and nothing from them works right. Can anyone recommend a suitable monitoring program that is compatible with WIN2K? Is MBProbe or MBM any good?

What I mean by good is that it will load and work with WIN2K. ASUS PC Probe would load fine and work until I rebooted, then I got a message saying that some .dll was missing. Even the newest version did this. It was definitely a PC Probe issue, not a WIN2K issue.
All I want is something that works and will exist on a WIN2K system...

Use Motherboard Monitor 5. It works perfectly on Win2K. I think it uses
the "giveio" driver to access low level datas from the mobo. This
program rocks !

I have an asus a7v motherboard and installed the probe software with win 2k and it seem to work fine for me. Right now I have the problem that it says the voltage spikes a lot. I am not sure if it is just the program or it is really happening.

I have PC Probe running on my CUSL2. Try the latest version, not the one that ships w/ MB. I get probs with it falsely saying the fans drop to 0 every once in a while, only for like a second though.

mbm5 works perfict in win2k, and its readings are the exact ones you will get in your bios.

I use MBM5 w/ Win2K on my Asus CUV4X. I have a P3 500@750MHz whith an Alpha heatsink. Is it normal for the CPU temp. to be 10-15 degees lower than the case temp? Right now my case is 84F and the CPU is 66F.

No that isnt' normal.....

Your CPU is the main sources of heat in your computer case. Therefore the CPU temperature should definitely be much higher than the ambient case temperature.

Your readings don't make sense.

I don't think it is possible to have the CPU cooler than the ambient that'd be hacking the laws of physics/thermodynamics i believe
