Monitoring Programs

Srry stupid question. But what are some good monitoring programs. Like ones which have a good reputation and are precise. Monitoring cpu temps, mobo temps, fan speeds, voltage etc.

Any program...be it the BIOS or software, will most likely be inaccurate. BIOS is normally +/-5 degrees, software is usually alot worse.

The latest version of Asus Probe is pretty accurate. The older versions did have problems. Any program depends on the accuracy of the motherboard sensors.

But the problem is, that it wont even monitor my cpu temperature. It keeps saying Unkown Chipset. Even though im using the one from the cd that came with my mobo. Also it keeps beeping and giving me errors the my voltage is out of threshold when it isnt.

Is your version of Asus Probe up to date?
