nvidia System Utility not showing the temperature/voltage graphs!
I have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe mainboard. I have just downloaded the nForce
System Utility software (version 1.08.5) as I want to monitor the temperature of the chips on my system. However, once I launch the program, the graphs of temperature etc are missing! I can see from webpage screenshots that they should be there. The button at the bottom right of the dialog, for detaching the graphs, does nothing. Any ideas anyone? thanks alex |

1. It's not meant for that board
2.Most things in it will not work with that board. If you read what it said you would see what boards it is meant for and that it was never meant for that board. IF it was then they would say so. I see no point in installing software that was not written for a certain board. To me that's like expecting software that will only work with an Intel cpu/board to work with an AMD. They will never have a version that will work with that board as the -E version of the board has replaced the first one. |

One other thing..........
NO software is that accurate anyway. If I measure temps directly from stick on thermometers and use a volt meter then I get as close to the real readings as anything. |

I am using the 1.00.00 version. I am downloading version 1.08.5, as I type. It is meant for all nforce2 & nforce3 based mobos. -- Doug Ramage |

I was thinking of the Asus probe utility. Neither version 1.00.00 nor 1.08.5 give me any graphs. -- Doug Ramage |

But not for that board.
Where on the site does it say that it is for use with the A7N8X (all versions )??? Nowhere...... The only version of that board is the -E that is in the list. |

Go to the Asus download page and in the search box, enter the word "Tools", as programs like Asus Probe are stored in the "Tools" section. The problem with many of the Asus boards, is they use slightly different methods for connecting the SMbus. The author of Motherboard Monitor (mbm.livewiredev.com) for example, has spent countless hours programming for the peculiarities of motherboards and the way their monitor chips are connected. A program like the Nvidia utility, is designed to work with a design like the Nvidia reference design motherboard, and the Nvidia software writers are not going to waste their time doing all the things that the author of MBM5 had to do. If the Nvidia software probes what it thinks is the SMbus, looking for monitor chips, and it doesn't find any, then that would be a good reason for the graphs to disappear. HTH, Paul |
