[deep_sky]

i have a pcchips mobo model m599lmr and sis530 chipset..does anyone know where i can get a program to monitor my cpu temp without having to boot into the bios? ( have tried motherboard monitor, hardware monitor, and a a few other progs but none of them support either my chipset or my mobo..) thanks in advance....

Try MB Probe. (http://web.bham.ac.uk/jst829/mbprobe/) It's the only one that works on my PCChips M598.
You'll probably have to adjust it by checking it against your temp in bios but it's easy to do. Once set up, it works great http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Good luck, Al G.

thanks for the pointer! the wierd thing is is that the program thinks my processor is the 2.2V version of the k6-2 450, even though the cap says 2.4V. just for kicks i tried booting at 2.2V but it would not remain stable ( random and constant freezing solid)..i am at 2.3V now and i hope that it will be able to run stable at this voltage. if this is bad for my processor, someone please tell me and i will run at what the cap says.....

From my experience, I would say go with the 2.4v. These AMDs like voltage. My 400 wouldn't run stable at default 2.2; runs great as a 450@ 2.4 and 500@ 2.5 http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif
