Motherboard Monitor doesn't work with my board

Post by randomocity32 »

Abit AN52

Not in the supported list. Is there any other program that will serve the same purpose? I'd like to be able to see how my system's performing, and be sure that it's keeping cool.

Having thoughts towards possible overclocking, went looking around for guides and stuff to see what all was involved and found a few helpful things, but haven't seen anything like Motherboard Monitor that supports my mobo.

Your board didn't come with a driver / utilities disk? I would check on the Abit site if you haven't already.

Pickup uGuru from ABIT's website. Along with motherboard monitoring you can overclock the system in Windows and flash your BIOS in Windows.

Had uGuru, it was causing my CPU to be at 50% usage constantly.

Ok, there's a monitor on the mobo cd, AbitEQ, allows me to monitor, but nothing else, I'll have to look into the other stuff as well.

Have you tried Speedfan? I've used it in the past but I was never really satisfied with it.

Core Temp is the best one I've seen, although it depends on your CPU as to whether it will work or not.
AMD Opteron 1224SE "Santa Ana" = DFI Lanparty UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G
Crucial Ballistix 4x1GB DDR2 800 = Corsair CMPSU-750TX
Sapphire 4870 1GB = Sceptre X20WG-Naga 20" = Logitech X-530 5.1
Seagate 320GB (SATA II) x2 = Samsung SH-S203B (SATA)
