Yes, I've used it on my XBX2 and my 850EMV2. Only thing I wish it had was the ability to show both CPU core temps. I have had no problems with it but have found that if you are using CPU-Z and open CPU-Z to view system you will need to reboot before trying to check temps on using Desktop Monitor or DM will become non responsive.
For monitoring both cores Intel Thermal Analysis tool is good too. I use both DM & TAT.

Thanks Sparky, I installed it and it is working fine. I can monitor more than i even thought that i would be able to .... for some reason it caused my case fan to run faster than it was before installing but i guess that is ok .... can't hurt ...
otherwise it seems like a great program especially for this board ...

I'd rather have my fans faster than slower.....cooler is a good thing.
