<!--StartFragment --> Motherboard Monitor (MBM) is a tool that will display information from the sensor chips on your motherboard in your Windows system tray. MBM supports a wide range of Chipsets & Sensor Chip combinations.

It can sense temps from Cpu, HDD, GFx and Mobo. It does also sense Fan speeds. If it senses that your hardware is overheated it can protect it by Shutting it down (user configured). To see if MBM5 supports your hardware check out the Motherboard List

It does also record all temps and fans for later viewing.
This is a great implention if you want to overclock. Example to see how well cooled your computer runs over a time. Full load or idle time. Its recomended for all home built systems. Specially if you make your own HEAT SINKS or just test you newly OVERCLOCKED CPU or GFx Card.

Better than many vendor-supplied monitoring programs!

If your motherboard supports PWM fan speed control, you may prefer this one....

Compatible with MBM, though I'm not sure why you'd use both?

Use extreme caution if you vary the CPU fan - set a reasonable minimum - lets say 60% (40% would be acceptable for most others), and ensure that you couple it to the CPU sensor.

The way speedfan works, IF speed control is supported, is you can set which fans respond to which sensors, more than one each way.
Typically, you would couple the CPU fan to the CPU sensor ONLY, but maybe the intake and exhaust fans to both case temp and CPU temp.

I am running asus probe, mbm, speedfan, pc wizard, aida and I don't know how many other similiar. There has been a heatwave here in NSW Australia and I kept checking the temps outside and inside the house. Now after installing MBM and speedfan - even worse, I am obsessed with computer temps. My eye keeps returning to the temps in the tray. All this because I built my own computer:)

Life was so peaceful in my previous pc temp ignorance. Now I am all stressed out when MBM tells me the case temp has increased 1 degree.

LOL - I know what you mean elsamay. :D

I transplanted my system into a new case last night and finally ditched my obsession with the Asus I-Panel at last! The temp readings I get were crazy, even ditched my Thermaltake HD coolers with temp gauges too for some Coolermaster ones without. My new golden rule - If your system does not freeze/crash then s0d the temperature! lmao :D

Monitoring chips are NOT accurately calibrated anyway - I had to apply a -10C correction to my CPU temp in MBM, to get it to match the BIOS and Gigabyte utility readings.

Before I attended to fans and better heatsinks, I hit 75C on my Athlon, and that's with the socket sensor that supposedly reads low, slow or both - it didn't crash, it didn't die.
At the moment, it's 35C case, 46C CPU at idle, AND noisier than I'd like!

The bios readings in my P4p800 deluxe P4 3.06 board are the same as in MBM so I am not changing anything. I installed the system in a Lian-Li 6070 aluminium case which is beautiful to behold, a tactile pleasure and a drain on the pocket. But it has poor cooling. So I am preparing to cut out the rear fan grill. I bought tin snips and hope that my weak female hands will be able to do the job without too much mutilation to my very expensive case:)


The room temperature is 23C and cpu 37 case 39 at idle. Thats why I'm an anxious tray gazer:)
