Need help fast!!!!!

I need to know how I can install cpu temp monitor. Do they make any kind of add on sensors for this? If not what should I use and how should I install it? (mobo ga-5smm,socket 7) Please reply with any ideas. Thank you. Jerry T.

I didn't see a place on the board to plug in a thermal cable. I checked at the gigabyte site. you might want to download one of the programs. that will check it for you. I have never tried to use one on a socket 7 board before. so I'm kinda lost on this to.

Have you checked the BIOS screen to see if it has a temp monitor? If it's an Award bios, i think it's the third or fourth option down (on all the newer Awards i've used) and it shows up in the right hand column.... If it's got that, you know it's got some kind of on board sensing equipment, and Gigabyte's driver disk/CD might have a utility designed to read that temp and display it to you. If you haven't got the CD or whatever, they might have it on their website (the utility, that is)....

Just my one &1/2 cents worth...

as far as i know you need a motherboard that offers hardware monitoring, and tha tboard does not seem to offer that. the board i have has two temp sensors and i can access ther output in the bios in the chipset features menu or with motherboard monitor.

without the monitoring built in you might consider getting a thermometer with a probe. and manually test the temp...

Yeah, those 'internal/external' digital fridge thermometers are only £10 and that's in 'rip-off-Britain'

They would do the trick, if you just wanted to keep an approximate check on the temp, but I'd imagine that if the mobo isn't wired up to access the CPU's thermal diode, there's no way of doing it.
