Monitoring temperatures

How do I find out where is the sensor located for PWM 1 - 4?

Peter3hg · July 11th, 2006, 9:05 PM

Cool, what program is that.

Xeon SX · July 11th, 2006, 9:17 PM

uGuru but I think it only works for Abit boards

Does the software have a help file? If so, you might find the info there.

My guess is that it's the power supply of the CPU, some components usually gathered around the CPU socket. With CPUs getting faster and faster, the temperature of these components has reached a critical level of head dissipation, so they might be monitored on newer boards. PWM should stand for Pulse Width Modulation, which is the way they work. Some boards have four, some have six if I'm not mistaken.

no helpfile images/smilies/sad.gif

so basically I have to increase CPU cooler's speed coz when I overclocked it, CPU temperature was 50 and PWM1 was 80 images/smilies/eek.gif

Yes, increasing the CPU cooler speed should also improve cooling for the PWMs. It depends on the design of the cooler though, some cool the PWMs good, some don't. As long as the pc runs smoothly, you don't need to worry I guess, but the moment you start to have freezes, you might know where the problem sits.

I just use MBM5.

That kind of misses the point, as the original question was where PWM 1-4 are located on the motherboard.

Oh, sorry, guess that's what I get for only reading the topic. images/smilies/sad.gif

Although MBM5 may show better names for them (assuming they are real sensors). Googling the motherboard will probably also list out all of the sensors on the board.

the Interceptor · July 12th, 2006, 9:30 AM

No offense, I use and recommend MBM5 as well. images/smilies/thumbup.gif

Xeon SX · July 12th, 2006, 10:44 AM

MBM5 doesn't support my motherboard so no offense, I'll stick with uGuru images/smilies/wink.gif

I've decided to add more fans in the case, CPU cooler cools the CPU well but doesn't extract heat from the case I think. This is what I've come up with:

Hopefully this will help.

Yeah, unfortunately, support has been cancelled some time ago. images/smilies/sad.gif

It might help, but might as well not. The four PWMs are under those four, silver heatsinks which are located around the cpu socket. You might actually have to blow air on them from above, which equates a fan in the side of the case.

Actually I run Prime95 at them oment at the temperature doesn't get higher than 62 although I am not sure is it because I added fans or decreased voltage to the CPU. But anyway it is now OK images/smilies/wink.gif

Thanx

F my friend, not C. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Right now:

Code:

Temperature: [Case: 31°C/88°F, CPU: 36°C/97°F, CPU Fan: 2616RPM, Case Fans: 1638RPM, HD Fan: 1864RPM]

I can get them both under 30C if I kick up the fans (they're on way low right now).

Xeon SX · July 12th, 2006, 2:16 PM

CPU fan 2616 and u call that low? HA HA

Does anyone know any software of this kind that will work with a ATI SB450.

No, I actually have my CPU fan maxxed out. I forgot that I had done that.

cvrefugee · July 13th, 2006, 2:47 AM

I always though PWM was the Northbridge chipset temp, but I could be wrong.
