well since motherboard monitor is now defunct...is there an acurate software out there that can monitor cpu, mcp, spp temperature as well as fan speeds and voltage?

i know of everest and i know of speedfan, but those don't seem to support a 590 mobo as i'm getting erratic temperatures that don't match what's in the bios.

i'm currently using ntune but i'd like something a little bit more simple like motherboard monitor.

For C2D something like CoreTemps should be a good start. Coretemp is suppose to read from the DTS which is read directly from a CPU register. Therefore no calculations are involved. The Digital Thermal Sensor (AKA: DTS) is a on-die sensor used for fan speed control. Each core is suppose to have its own DTS. The way coretemps work allows for relative temperature. While other monitoring problems use absolute temp readings (calculations). Therefore, relative temperature>absolute temperature . CoreTemps suppose to display the TCC activation temperature as "Tjunction" and temps of both cores under Core #0 and Core #1. There is more to it then just that but this is the skinny of it IMHO.

that's great info...but i'm running am2...lol
 
Coretemp works for AMD and Intel... although the latest version (0.95) is unstable for some. If it causes random crashes, uninstall it and get the previous version (0.94).
 
Try the latest version of Speedfan it gives me the same readings as core temp on my core duo.
 
I'm pretty sure CoreTemp is reporting 15 degrees over the actual core temperatures for my e6300 L2 revision. Other programs will show 45C when CoreTemp shows 60C.

CoreTemp .095 was revised to show the proper TJunction offset for the Allendale cores (E6300 and 6400 L2 plus the 4300/4400). the Allendale TJunction is 100 and the Conroe is 85 so there's your 15 degrees. CoreTemp is correct.

Cheers
