MBM 5 and online mobo list

[Michael Chiu]

OK, I'm confused.

I've got a Soyo K7VME mobo, but on the mobo list on the web site, it shows
K7VEM. Is this supposed to be the same mobo?

When I look at the sensor info, it shows
Sensor Chip: VIA686B
Case Sensor: VIA686B 2
CPU Sensor: VIA686B 3

however, the MBM 5 software shows
Sensor Chip: SIS950/ITE705F
Case Sensor: SIS950/ITE8705F 2
CPU Sensor: SIS950/ITE8705F 1

So, I'm confused about what to use for the temperature readings of my CPU.

Can someone clarify which I should use for the CPU, case, etc.

Thanks,
Mike

No. The K7VME and the K7VEM are two different boards. But they both use VIA
chipsets so I can't shed any light on why MBM 5 is showing the SIS chipset.
I checked the Soyo website and both motherboards are there. Here's what I
copied:

K7VME

AMD Socket-A Based VIA KM400 Chipset micro ATX Motherboard Featuring
Embedded Graphics with 1 AGP slot, 2 channel Audio, Integrated 10/100
LAN, 8X/4X AGP slot, and USB 2.0

K7VEM

AMD Socket-A Based VIA KLE133 Chipset Micro ATX Motherboard

I would imagine this is a problem with MBM 5 rather then the board itself
but having never used the software I'm afraid I can't really comment for
sure.

Cheers.
