Where can I DL the latest version of Asus Probe, I looked on the web
site I could not find the tools section...
 
Chris,

Here is the latest version with PCpTray, that puts the CPU temp in your
taskbar with some other cool PC Probe fan, voltage, temp readings in a
popup. Also has analog meters for monitoring PC Probe changes. Very cool,
works great........Win95-XP...also has shutdown alarm that actually works!

Don't bother... grab MBM5, it's loads better.

All a matter of opinion....

Probe doesn't grab the diode temperature (at least on my board)... so it's
pretty useless for temperature monitoring.

Come off it ;]

Neither MBM or Probe can read the diode temp on my board - but the
available sensors are far from 'useless' :p

Socket temp doesn't really give you a good impression of diode temp. If I
subtract socket temp from diode temps, I've seen anything from +15°C
to -5°C. 20°C of variation is hardly ideal, especially as many people seem
to think cpu temp (diode) is cpu temp (socket).

I'll change my statement fro "useless" to "misleading at best" - thats
assuming it calls the socket temp "cpu temp", which I think it does.

I would like to read the diode temp - but then, to think of that as the
'real' temp is a matter of context too. So its a more reactive, relevant
indicator than the board cpu temp, the other sensor lags behind, but I find
it sufficient to judge how hot its running in the medium term.
Id only be mislead by it, if I didnt wait for it to plateau, or if I was
taking it as being securely calibrated - I take it as a laggy stress level
indicator which loosely relates to temp..

hehe, sure the diode might be handy.

I'll let you have that, 'cos of that last sentance :-P

Indeed. It's more consistent than socket temps, but then, some motherboard
manufacturers miscalibrate them so you can never be sure.
