A little bit late with this one but a new version of Motherboard Monitor 5 (MBM 5) has been released by its author. Here's the new stuff:

Voltages:

  • Voltages calculation has totaly changed, instead of being inside the dll the calculation is now done via a formula located in /data/voltage.ini. The benefit of this is that if a voltage upgrades is needed this can be done via this simple 20kb file.
  • Voltage Custom.ini file is added to the /data dir, this is for the expert users who want to create their own calculations, anything in here will overwrite the voltage.ini file.
New support:
  • NForce2 support.
  • LM85 support.
  • MAX1989 support.
  • Better Via8231 temp & volt support.
  • 3rd, 4th and 5th voltage subtype for Winbond 97HF.
Added:
  • VIA debug dump added.
  • ISA dump bank switch added.
  • Read Temps, Read Voltage, Read Fans added to advanced section, see help file.
  • .vbs files can be selected to be started when an alarm goes off mbmstarterdll, please read the readme file in the /misc directory on it's use.
  • mbm5messages, please read the readme file in the /misc directory on it's use.
fixes:
  • if dashboard locked to right side and you right click to remove the side bar the dashboard will relock.
  • Better fast user switch support in combination with hybernation for XP - thanks Torsten Kerschat.
  • install.log error fixed?
  • Voltage Configuration not sticking fixed (again!).
