Hello all! Thank you in advance for any and all answers offered.
I have an ASUS Maximus Mobo in my 4 month old build. I have never had any alerts go off for PC Probe 2 (an asus Monitoring program, provided with the mobo), until today. Granted, PC Probe 2 is not constantly running, nor do I run it as often as once a week. Anyways, last night I decided to run PC P.2 for the 1st time since reinstalling XP(mainly because my AC is on the fritz, and my ambient temp. in the room is in the mid 80’s F.). Long stry short, and short question long: 1. Should the alarms for the “DRAM” (?) and “DRAM REF” (?) voltages be going off along with the temperature alarms? Meaning is there a direct correlation between the two? I have read that PC Probe 2 is a buggy program and not very accurate also. In PC P.2, the “nominal” voltage values are DRAM=1.89v (Reading a 2.22v); and DRAM REF (not sure what Dram REF is?)= .95v (reading 1.12v). And if there is a correlation, what can I do to rectify this ?
Also, can anyone link me to a temperature monitoring program that is as accurate as it can get? At least to run side by side and pinpoint the actual temperature problems, IF THERE ARE ANY? And/Or a program/link to also take a look at my voltages?
Below is SysInfo copied from DXDiag. (SP3 crashes my build for some reason, so for thetime being SP2 is it :})
Thank you all and anyone that will lend me a hand.
