Hello

I bought a BioStar M6VCF motherboard and am using it to run a SL46T processor. For some reason, after installing the included temperature monitor, all the temperates are at 0?

I have tried different monitors such as MBM and VCool, but they all display 0.

Do the sensors have to be enabled or something?

Anyone know why this is happening?

Possibly no hardware monitorin on this mainboard or it's not capable to read the CPU-internal sensor

But they provided hardware monitoring software with the motherboard? Its the original CD for the motherboard including drivers and the hardware sensor monitor!

Some installation CDs apply to several motherboards, or simply several revisions of the same motherboard. Some may or may not have all of the add-ons (i.e. sensor, sound, modem, LAN, etc.)

If it's a new board, check the manual and look for the section that mentions hardware monitoring. If it includes (optional) next to it, then voilà... you might not have it.

Or simply look for the arrow (in the manual) that points to the hardware monitoring sensor, and look for it on your board.
