szurlo Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Just wondering how/if everyone monitors temps/volts/fan speeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I am a sucker for MBM5. JUst find it easier to configure to my liking. I also use a Matrix Orbital MX421 with Dallas "one wire" DS18S20 thermal probes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Johnston Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Right now i use Speed Fan, but in the future i plan to get a G15 and use the onboard LCD to monitor my temps and whatnot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I also use SunbeamTech"s Chromatic Windmill to adjust fan speeds and monitor cpu, h/d and case temps....suprisingly the controller reports the same mbm5 25c idle 30c loaded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC1X1 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 CoolerMaster Musketer II, CoolDrive6, CoolDrive4, MBM 5, SmartGuardian, CMD scripts, Performance testing. The hardware is always on, with customized settings for each locale, software during boot, and sometimes MBM5 full, otherwise I wait for hardware indications, then start troubleshooting.

jguizar Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 MBM5. I've checked my 5v and 12v with a DMM and corrected them in MBM. I'll do the rest of the voltages when I'm ready to move everything over to a new case. Things are a little too cramped to be trying to check things like vcore and vdimm in current case.

JUst find it easier to configure to my liking.I also use a Matrix Orbital MX421 with Dallas "one wire" DS18S20 thermal probes. Yeah, I have been using Smartguardian, but I really don't like having to rely on a running Windows app to keep track of my system health. Plus, as a gamer, I'd like something I can see while in full screen games. I have looked at the Matrix LCDs but the price kind of made me balk. As far as fan control goes, I have yet to see a non-rheostat hardware speed controller that I thought was ideal. Seriously considering making my own. Found a web site with schematics and parts lists for thermistor-controlled linear analog and PWM 12v fan controllers. That way I can just build all the channels I need and adjust each channel to match the fan it runs perfectly. BTW, that site is http://www.cpemma.co.uk/thermal.html Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Code Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 mbm5, useful for monitoring fan, water pump speeds, can perform a windows shut down on a failure, rather than wait for a high cpu temp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
