Can't get Abit HWDoctor to work!

[Donovan]

I get a "run time error, invalid property value". I tried d/ld'ing again from abit, the same. Anyone else had this happen?

everytime i tried to use it
get MBM


------------------
There are those who think, and those who dream, But I, for one, refuse to choose between the two!

I downloaded and am running v2.10 of Winbond Hardware Doctor. It reports two temps Cable and System, yet on the configuration screen these are called RT2 and CPU.

The one called CPU is very definitely not the CPU temp. It must be the temp of the Winbond chip on the BE6.

The other is the thermal sensor because when I remove it the temp becomes N/A. A curious thing is that the temp in the BIOS called CPU also becomes N/A when I remove the sensor.

I have also used MBM 4.13 but it also only reports the System temp and not the temp of the CPU on the slotket even though the slotket can pass the CPU temp to the mb.

How do I get an accurate CPU temp? Where should I put the thermal probe if the CPU temp is not being passed through the slotket?
I'm not putting it between the slug and heatsink as some have suggested.

Windows 98SE 128Mb RAM
BE6 300a @450 on an ASUS 370D slotket
LeadTek S320-II Ultra

i have it because it came with my abit bx6 but i dont really use it that much. get the MBM its much better then the hardware doctor.
thats just my opinion and you knowwhat they say opinions are like *******s everyones got one

[LoupFou]

I have a Abit BP6 and that included monitoring utility caused my CPU fans to stop! Stupid program! :P Oh well, I promptly got MBM and it's all happy now. Just my little experience with packaged utilities.

------------------
Wheeee... What's this do?? >;p

[Donovan]

yeah, im using mbm now to and it actually works! lol
oh, on another note. now i'm almost sure that rain program is bs cause it makes 0% difference when I use this mbm program

[Donovan]

I really do like how it just shows the temp in your tray too

[cutebird]

I have installed MBM and CpuIdle but MBM will not let me set any sensor for CpuIdle to start and stop on. It finds Winbond 2 - W83783S and it says the temp is 36 C. So it seems the latest version of MBM and CpuIdle won't work on my system.

Donovan: Rain/cpuidle do work! but only if your cooling is too weak. Try running cpuidle/rain when using peltier! the temperature drops 10-15 degrees C in 30 sec!.

------------------
Anyone got a cpu running at 666?

Abit Hardware doctor won't run under win2000
