Saggitarius Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 Hey all I just got the MBM5 program that was previously mentioned in this forum and am wondering what I should be setting the sensors to. I currently have sensor 1 set to asus 1, sensor 2 set to asus 2 and sensor 3 set to the W83L785TS-S Diode. I had prior to this set the sensor 3 diode to asus 3 and had a temp reading of 127c!! I don't even know what that is in Fahrenheit, probably close to 300f!!!! What is this sensor, and where is it? I recently bought a Thermaltake heatspreader/heatsink kit, but I only used the heatspreaders on my RAM. I read a review on this homepage for a Northbridge cooling kit that came with small heatsinks that could be attached to chips on the motherboard. I am considering doing this with the heatsinks that I am not using on my RAM. I will, ofcourse, need to cut them down to fit properly, but this won't be an issue. Can anyone help? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 hehe I can tell those are definetly incorrect readings and are you using any thermal compound? I havent used MBM5, so Im not sure as to what is the correct setup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saggitarius Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 check here for some good help Thanks, I downloaded the .ini file for my motherboard and it set everything up for me. I didn't see that file when I orignally got the installation file (about a month ago) I only got my board back a week ago, so I only got around to using this program. My low load temps are usually 44-45, but when I run Prime95 in TortureTest mode, it will quickly hit 69-70. Are these ok temps? My board is running stable, but only at stock settings right now. I am not totally ready to OC my board until I know that it will survive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ximo Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 when people refer to CPU temp is it the Socket or the Diode temp??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeter_acres Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 for me... the Diode... because that is the true temp.. but I think many people use the socket temp when sharing with other people... ASUS probe uses the socket temp... and not many boards have a diode sensor either. There is question whether the ASUS one works well or not.. I would like to get a remote sensor, just haven't done it yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Thx for the link bishy. Anyway, now that ive got mbm working, is there a way to have the dashboard running without having it take up a space on my task bar?

sykocus Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 click the little 1 button on the right side of the dash board, it cycles though 1-5 not sure what they all do, but the it does remove it from the task bar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saggitarius Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 (edited) click it to 3 and it won't be ontop of everything. I got annoyed when it was covering stuff I wanted to see Edited October 14, 2003 by Saggitarius Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 I click it to 2, then i set it to transparent so i can still see whats beneath it. That way, it doesnt cover up too much of what im doing and i can still see my temps at all time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
