I got an intel pd35pd mobo wich MBM5 wont suport. I need to monitor my temps, but speedfan seems to be reading to high. It says 25-30 in the bios, but speedfan is reporting 58, 56, 57 and 57. It gives a temp for each of the 4 cores where the bios only gives 1 cpu temp. Any ides which is correct or any relible software i can run?

Thanks,Cody

Have you checked the Acer or the Intel web site? They may have a suitable mboard monitoring utility available you can download.

Sounds like Speedfan is approximately doubling the actual temps.
Usually you can make adjustments in the generic hardware monitoring utility's settings or properties - e.g. change the divisor of the reading it gets from the readouts from the hardware monitoring chip sensors, or it may be sensing the wrong chip type and you may need to change that (if it is a separate chip rather than integrated into the main chipset, the actual model is printed on the hardware monitoring chip on the mboard). Once you get at least some readings similar to what the bios says, you can often also make small corrections if they are not exactly the same as what the bios says - best to do that after the mboard temps have stabilized.
Each hardware monitoring chip has default designated uses/labels for each sensor, often three or four of them, but the mboard manufacturer doesn't always connect them as specified, in which case you need to change the labelling in the generic utility, and sometimes one or two sensors are not connected to anything, in which case the readings never change, and may be illogically high or low.
Also, the mboards's bios may not report all available readouts.

Sorry for the confution...the specs say an acer laptop but i need software for a new quad core dectop with an intel board i just built. I checked intells site and didn't find anything...its nice to know speedfan is probaly wrong thoguh, thx

I'm using CORE TEMP with my quad core. It works on both xp and vista. But if you plan to use it in vista64 you first must disable the "unsigned driver" reject system. It's free.... google for it.

I tried searching the Intel site with pd35pd - nothing found, no such mboard model.
More recent Intel brand mboard models start with D9. No such thing as a desktop Intel 935 chipset.
I tried searching the web with pd35pd - only three "hits", two of no significance, the third your first post in this thread.
What is your actual mboard model?
It may have an Intel chipset, but most mboards with Intel chipsets are not Intel brand name mboards.

yea you cant search for it on intells site, you have to browse for it. here is the link....http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/DP35DP/index.htm it is a crappy mobo, but i got it cheap....real cheap...and i cant afford a real expencive gaming computer so i had to cut corners were i could. The quad core works great for video editing and i basically went with the cheepest mobo that worked witht he quad

Ah! You reversed d and p, twice!
Please make sure you get the model number right next time.

You didn't look very well.

It may also be on your mboard CD.
