A7N8X Deluxe rev2 PWR_TEMP Header and MBM5 temp sensors

[Gordon Scott]

Hi
A couple things

I am trying to understand what 2 of the sensors are
hooked up to in the temperature monitoring.
Specifically sensor 4 (mine reads 25c constantly) and sensor 5 (reads
approx 53-55c fluctuates) and it seems it might be the HDD sensor, but
the HDD isn't/cant be that hot. The system is extremely well ventilated.

Also, I have hooked up a cputemp sensor (spare from a thermaltake HSF) to
the board at the pwr_temp header.
Where/how can I setup/read this info thru MBM?
The lead I have isnt long enough to reach the PSU, so I have it fitted in
my RAM, hoping to monitor the RAM temp.

thx

What I did, was to go into BIOS and write down the temp values
BIOS reports for all sensors, including the pwr_temp sensor (which
you might need to enable in BIOS first).

I then boot and open up MBM. I go through each of the sensors
found by MBM and note the values given for those. I match up
the numbers between BIOS and MBM, and set the text descriptions
in MBM to the appropriate name.

Just note that MBM sometimes lists the same sensor more than once,
possibly due to having two different ways of accessing it, and sometimes
lists sensors that aren't actually connected to anything (the sensor
chip has registers with garbage values because the MB designer didn't
connect it up to anything).

Alternatively go to the Asus board at http://www.nforcershq.com/forum and
download the config file that nerbil has created and use that.
