i have a fan controller built into my case and another one in the 5.25" bay......they both read temps.
on case reads cpu and anything else - they have the diodes for it so its actually ACCURATE.
the fan controller reads cpu, hdd, and 2 other of whatever else.
DIODES!

Um......do you know what you're talking about?

MBM reads thermal sensors that are built-in to the motherboard. It can also read thermal sensors from fans that are equipped with them so long as your MB has an input connection for a fan with a thermal sensor.

The program doesn't have to do any voodoo math like Bush "balancing" the budget. MBM doesn't just make up a number by guessing, which is what you make it sound like.

There are more and less accurate thermal sensors, though. Also factors such as where the thermal sensor is mounted makes a huge difference in the accuracy of the temperature reading you get. That's why MBM has the ability to adjust the temperature offset.

Now using MBM with one of the known list of MB's, you can get an accurate readout. For example the sensor is mounted in a fixed place relative to the CPU.

The trick is you must set the program up right in order to get an accurate temperature reading. But you can't hold that against the program, it's for people who know what they're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, then why do you care about your temperature in the first place?
