Monitoring Hardware

[miral78uk]

Hi anyone know any good (free of course) software for motherboard monitoring. Like FSB speeds graphic card speeds etc etc. I wish to expand my knowledge!!! As a novice!

If you have a Nvidia chipset based motherboard then the following link maybe of use to you

http://www.nvidia.com/object/sysutility.html

download http://www.nvidia.com/object/sysutility_1.08.5.html

Other than that - if you search for Motherboard Monitor in google this is a fairly good program that shows fans speeds, temps ETC

If you would care to post your system spec that will make life easier as some programmes work with 1 flavour of e.g gfx chip.

Another good util for nForce based mobos is 8rdavcore.
More generally Speedfan is another alternative.

3.0GHz intel P4
PNY 6800 ultra 256MB
1024MB ram
(Stupid) 15" tft (hopefully getting 17" <16ms soon)
Seagate 120GB Hard drive (dont know model number)
480W therm PSW

It seems pretty good but my monitor lets me down

I prefer 8rdaVcore but Clockgen works OK for me (unless you push it too far ).

[PanzerKnight]

damn it looks quite good that. Shall tinker with it tomorrow (rebooting stresses me out )

I use that nvidia util without any real issues apart from when I get cocky and try and raise my FSB to 425 Mhz from 420 MHz. damn 2500+ doesn't like that sort of overclock I suppose
