Is there a WinXP Pro temperature monitor / display utility for the 8887 available somewhere?

I have been looking for one also. I think I remember seeing one in the linux forums, obviously for linux, but I don't think one exists for XP Pro. If you find one let us know.

It has been discussed before, but stillm try searching in the forums for motherboard monitor, sensor, etc.

But there is no hardware temp sensor in the 8887 you can read.

Haus - Thx for the link. I checked around and MBM 5 has been reviewed and recommended by several sources, so I installed 5.3.2.0. It comes up and identifies the CPU speed correctly, but all the temp sensors are reading 0 degrees. I haven't been able to wake them up. Did you tweak settings?


Zach - I did search for recent conclusive threads on temp utilities. Also, since Linux reportedly has a functional temp utility, I would be surprised to find that there is no hardware temp sensor in the 8887. There may not be a motherboard sensor, but I believe Intel CPUs and chipsets carry temp sensors that can be queried.

i didnt think the 8887's motherboard had any thermal sensors. normally you would be able to view the readings in the bios if they were there.

well i went to the intel site and d/led the white paper on the 845mp/mz mb and after about a hours worth of reading geek speak i found where it said the where 3 thermal sencors on the board ... thats about all i can tell ya for now if i find more info ill let ya know.

I just installed the software from the above link and the program tells me I have three sensors, all of which are giving me a reading of 0 degrees celcius.

I think you need something on the motherboard to READ from the CPU. Unless your mobo has that feature I doubt any program can run and gather such info. It has to be on a hardware level on the motherboard...

I doubt these mobo's support that feature.

Has anyone tried it on a desktop??

Yeah I think most laptop motherboards have left the sensors out,even for desktop processor laptops.... maybe the next clevos with the mb revision will have them..

Temperature continued

So, after reading the documentation <gasp> it's clear that MBM isn't finding any sensor chips, at least with the way it's currently configured. The Temperatures => ... display board sensor says "None."

So there may not be a mobo sensor, but P4's definitely have an internal temp sensor and THERMTRIP. It's not clear, though, whether or not an external sensor chip is required to obtain a digital representation of the P4 diode value.

Linux has solved this problem?

(Alex also comments that he's tired of people emailing him "no readings, help me")

Guys, really, it has ben discussed before, the 888x actual models do NOT have a readable temp sensor (for us), the one in the p4 is just an emergency diode, which slows down the processor so it can cool down (it actually happens on my 8886, when playing generals and the room temperature is 35 celcius, damn weather), but it is not readable, Alex has also been contacted before about this...

BUT BEHOLD!

The good news are, that i'm working on 2 projects now, an analogical temp monitor and, well, the temp monitor derives from this one, a water cooling system for the 566x and 888x sager model which you can build for around 70 bucks, doesn't sound great? i just need one more piece to start bulding it, and after that, i'll include full stats and building intructions.

So ummm.....If there's no onboard temp sensor,how do the fans know when to kick in....???

There are temp sensors in there, just not readable for us, no program can get degrees from them, unless clevo decides otherwise.

Has anyone tried the stuff posted by henrik?

I have not had the time to go home to try it, I am on the road, but there seems to be evidence that it works...

Lemme Know
