I have an ECS KN1 motherboard and am looking for some software to monitor the CPU temperature and motherboard voltages. The nTune software that came with the board, doesnt give me all the info I need.

I have tried Motherboard Monitor and Speedfan, and neither give accurate information.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Of course your BIOS is one of the better ways of telling, but you want to see what your machine is running under stress. This page will give you a lot of suggestions: http://downloads.vnunet.com/download/processor/51.html I always thought SpeedFan was pretty good. Shows what I know. So, take this with a grain of salt - Hmonitor.

The information they are displaying is not correct. My 12v reads -5.3v, the temperatures do not match the BIOS...things like that

The only reason I can see for MM not reading temps etal correctly is if it does not support your mobo, or you chose the wrong mobo when installing the program. MM is very reliable, by all accounts.
