I'm hoping Howard G. or another FreeBSD user may have a suggestion.
Healthd compiled from source gives me odd results even after playing with
different arguments.
Temp.= 25.0, 39.5, 17.5; Rot.= 0, 0, 0
These look about right other than no indication of a CPU fan. I am running
mprime while testing.
Vcore = 1.41, 2.99; Volt. = 3.26, 4.84, 15.50, -12.20, -5.70
The +12V reading as 15.5V puzzles me. A DMM reads +12.06V. |

It would help if you posted your motherboard and CPU. At the moment, as far
as I can tell, there isn't even a reliable system voltage/temperature/fan
speed applet for Windows when you have a Core 2 Duo motherboard. Even with
a technical description and schematic of the monitoring chips used,
motherboard manufacturer may implement the functions in different ways that
vary with the brand, chip set, and model. Certainly the system monitoring
applet that nVidia supplies for their chip set and GPU does not provide all
the information that even the BIOS reports successfully.
Also it is a good practice to include all the information in the body of the
message and not leave some hanging alone in the subject line.

Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 with an AMD FX-55 at 2.6GHz.
It didn't occur to me to mention hardware as I've never had a serious
problem under any version of Windows with hardware monitoring. The fact that
some data reads the same as Speedfan puzzles me moreso. If it comes down to
it I'm quite willing to try SpeedFan or similar under Wine. >> Stay informed about: Monitoring Software for FreeBSD 6.2 |

The outputs of mbmon and healthd do look very similar.

I saw that at Freshports. Good stuff Howard.

I'll try mbmon and check sysctl as well. Thank you for your knowledge and
input. >> Stay informed about: Monitoring Software for FreeBSD 6.2 |
