After finally getting some time to tweak MBM5 for my A8N-SLI Deluxe, I've pretty much got it doing everything I want but I still have a couple of questions.
In this pic MBM vs Everest you can see that the hard drive temp, volts, and fan speeds match up with those reported by Everest (the actual volts, measured with a digital multimeter, were 3.35, 5.14, and 12.13 but this is close enough).
My first question has to do with the temps. I set MBM temp one as CPU and temp two as Motherboard because they matched what was reported by ASUS Probe. I wasn't sure what was being reported by temp three (I had hoped one of these would be the NF4 chip but disconnecting that fan doesn't cause any of these to rise). When I checked Everest, it shows the CPU temp to match MBM temp three and Aux temp for MBM temp one. The interesting thing is that when I run a program to put the cpu to full load, temp one and temp three both rise about 3 to 4 degrees. This makes me question which is the actual cpu temp? I would assume the one reported by ASUS Probe would be right but then what is Everest measuring for cpu temp?
Next question...is there any way to read the ram voltage for this board with MBM5? I couldn't get any of the sensors to show it and it's not shown by Everest so I'm guessing there is no sensor for it. ASUS Probe shows it but I think it's probably just reporting the value set in the bios?.
