Temp monitor? (can't use motherboard monitor 5) by user35870 on 05-12-2005 at 03:58 PM

I need a program to check my computer temp but the most poplar one:  motherboard monitor  5 doesn't support my motherboard. Does any one no of any other temp monitor programs?

Thanks

The most likely case is:

to monitor temperatures the programs need a special "address" to monitor. This "address" is always the same (roughly) and doesn't depend on your motherboard.

If the programs say it doesn't support your motherboard it means: "your motherboard doesn't support temp monitoring programs because it doesn't provide that special "address"". In other words, no matter what program you use, you can't monitor it with software...

To be honest, those programs really aren't all that useful. Simply sticking a thermometer into your computer works just as well.
