If you've been o/c for a while you would have used Motherboard Monitor 5 (MBM5), a superb tool for temp/voltage/fan monitoring.

Unfortunately the developer Alex stopped work on MBM5 around 2004 leaving us to use the (sometimes crappy) mobo manufacturer's utilities... until now...

Alex + FreeCableGuy from xtremesystems have developed a plug-in to monitor core temp on Intel Core™ based procs - the Core, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Core-based Xeons.

The plug-in allows reading the core temp from the DTS sensors on the die itself - something which CoreTemp/TAT is already doing - but MBM5 can display this on the sys tray + dashboard.

I'm using it right now and it's great to be back on MBM5.

I had to manually config it and got voltage, temp working but fan is still not working on my P5B dlx.

I actually skipped the Wizard process after testing with various mobos from same manufacturer (Asus P4C, P4P etc) and it didn't work right.

I got voltage reading working by playing with some formulas based on work done in xtremesystems forum; fan is still not working for me. I can attach my voltage formula for P5B Deluxe if anybody wants it.

FYI: the mobo list is read from an XML file. You can add your own mobo and settings in but biggest problem is my mobo is using a newer Winbond sensor chip that MBM5 doesnt work correctly with.
