Dimension XPS Gen3
Hello,
how can I monitor the cpu temperature? All tools I found (e.g. mbm) did not find any management chips to perform any monitoring operation. All I found via google is: Dell did not support these function on many motherboards. Is this really true for the new Dimension XPS Gen3? Regards, Manuel |

Yes. To monitor temperature, you'd need to add a sensor - Thermaltake,
Zalman, Coolermaster and most of the other cooling system makes produce them. "Manuel Fischer" wrote in message ... Hello, how can I monitor the cpu temperature?

I searched on zalmans homepage and did not find any product. Only a sensor did not help me, where can I connect a sensor on the Dell motherboard to read out the temperature? I think only an external solution works (sensor near the cpu, display outside the case, monitoring via mbm definitly not possible)... Regards, Manuel |

That is correct - you'd need a kit with a display and sensor.
There is no place to connect one to the mainboard. "Manuel Fischer" wrote in message ... "Edward J. Neth" schrieb: Yes.
