Looking at my previous posts this is a less disjointed summary of the changes I made to get it working: 1. Installed MBM 5.3.7.0 2. Installed Update 3 (I did not install updates 1 & 2 first) 3. Installed and configured the CoreTemp Plugin 1.13 4. Installed and configured the NVPlugin 7.22 5. Set the following sensors in the MBM5.ini Temperature section: 193 Motherboard 194 NF4 Chipset 192 CPU (non-core) 6. Added the following into the voltage.ini: [Winbond W83627THF-A] VT=6 V6=Asus P5N-E SLI V6V1=$20*0.016 // CORE0 V6V2=255 // CORE1 V6V3=$21*0.016 // 3.3V V6V4=$23*0.016*1.68 // 5V V6V5=$24*0.016*4 // 12V V6V6=255 // -12V V6V7=255 // -5V V6V8=$28*0.016 // VBAT A screenshot of the results can be found in my last post on the setup here.

Have a look at my last post which describes how i got it working with this motherboard.It's been a while since I last looked at it but IIRC it pretty much covers everything I did. *Edit* Even better have a look at Faheyd's post here which expands on the details from mine with what he did.

Thanks for the help, The reason I am considering the male connector route was that it seemed the least destructive and seemed to hold the least risk. Also if the card dies or I decide to replace it (or for reasons I can't yet fathom decide to use onboard sound) and the newer card has an AC-97 connector onboard I wouldn't need to do anything other than plug the case cable in to get it working. I mentioned this to one of the Integration Test guys at work yesterday who many years ago used to work on the hardware side and he also suggested just cutting off the connector and splicing the cables as an easier option than trying to find a suitable connector here in the UK and suggested asking one of the hardware team. Unfortunately as the software and hardware teams don't really have much contact there was nobody to ask from the hardware side who might have been able to provide a simple answer as to the correct connector as over the years all our acquaintances have left the company. Having to feed the cable out the back is a bit naff but on my previous machine I bought a third party front panel which not only fed the audio through but also the USB and firewire connectors. All in all not the cleanest way to work but it does get the job done and its only really an irritant when you go round the back of the case and have to sort through the bundle of wires.

Hello folks, Not sure if this is the right place for this question so if not please point me to somewhere more appropriate. Anyway I want to wire up a cable to connect my cases AC-97 connector to two 3.5mm mini-jacks which I can feed through the back of the case and plug into the Audigy (Audigy 1's don't have the internal connector found on the 2 ZS). I have not done any soldering before (my electronics stopped at A-Level physics many years ago) but figured now is as good a time as any to start as it seems to be becoming a more regular task. Reading the instructions for wiring up the Audigy 2 ZS internal connector I concluded that I need the black connector and terminals to create the plug that will connect to the case connector. I can then cut a male to male mini-jack cable in half and hopefully wire up this to to the correct terminals (if not i will need to get some cable and solder a couple of mini-jacks as well). My problem lies in finding the equivalent connector here in the UK simply because there is too much choice. Only one place seems to have the connectors described but not as stock items so they will incur a £10 (~$20) extra fee before the cost of the items and as they seem to stock lots of similar items this seems excessive, I just need to know what is an equivalent. Normally Maplins is good for stuff like this but this seems to be too specialist (they seem to be becoming less of an electronics shop) so I have resorted to web searches and come up with the following component suppliers in the UK. RS Electronics - http://rswww.com apparently the big cheese for this sort of stuff Farnell UK- http://uk.farnell.com CPC - http://cpc.farnell.com The connectors in the article are: Connector terminals - http://rocky.digikey.com/scripts/ProductIn...23&M=16-02-0115 Connector housing - http://rocky.digikey.com/scripts/ProductIn...23&M=22-55-2101 I think I have found an equivalent to the housing here in as much as that it sounds quite similar I am a bit less ure about the pin size but I this this is an equivalent. Can anyone point me in the right direction, point out any obvious flaws in this plan. Thanks, Opener

Ok figured out the VBAT as well and added the following into the voltage.ini: [Winbond W83627THF-A] VT=6 V6=Asus P5N-E SLI V6V1=$20*0.016 // CORE0 V6V2=255 // CORE1 V6V3=$21*0.016 // 3.3V V6V4=$23*0.016*1.68 // 5V V6V5=$24*0.016*4 // 12V V6V6=255 // -12V V6V7=255 // -5V V6V8=$28*0.016 // VBAT This combined with the sensors mentioned in my previous post seems to have sorted everything. I have attached a screenshot of my dashboard. Temps seem a little high for stock settings with stock fan (approx 53 deg Celsius for the cores idle). I'm still setting things up and haven't even looked at overclocking yet but looks like it might be worth taking off the heatsink and applying some Arctic Silver as I don't know what the shop did when they installed everything but I suspect they used the thermal pad that came with the processor. Thanks for the help, Opener

Ok reverted to the original Update 3.0 data and have got most of my settings working with the following exceptions (which are displayed by Speedfan and/or Everest) -5v, -12v and VBat. A poke around the MBM5.ini led me to discover that some of the temps were on the following sensors (based on what I had witnessed using the DFI data ) 193 motherboard, 194 NF4 Chipset and 192 CPU (non-core). Unfortunately I haven't got a clue how I would find the remaining voltages. Any ideas? Opener

Cheers Soundx98, I'll give that a go. Opener

Hello folks, I just upgraded from my trusty Athlon XP system to a new Core 2 Duo system and was looking for a program to replace MBM when i discovered this thread. I have performed the following steps: Installed MBM 5.3.7.0 + Update 3 (I did not install updates 1 & 2 first) Copied the MBMDataFinal.rar's contents to the Data directory Installed the CoreTemp Plugin 1.13 Installed the NVPlugin 7.22 I have been able to get the CPU Core temps and GPU clocks and temp but a view of the voltage readings seem off compared to Asus PCProbe 2 or are non-existent others don't match values shown in the BIOS. Has anyone know the correct configuration for an ASUS P5N-E SLI? I am about to download Speedfan to see if this gives me a clue about which sensors to use so I can make the relevant changes to MBM but any help would be appreciated. thanks, Opener
