Hardware Monitoring

I always use Gigabyte boards but one thing I find them lacking in is hardware monitoring. Very rarely do they provide NB/SB temps and other things. I believe the high end boards should include these.

Yes I would have to agree with you there especially on the top of the range boards that are far from cheap. Little LEDs are alright but no compensation for proper sensors.

DFI used to have a nice little monitor but as they sunk their retail ship no use for it anymore gave you chipset temps. Though was known to be a bit off on the m2rs.

Also, the microATX boards only have only one peripheral fan connector. ATX boards only have one connector which is temperature controlled and you have no manual control over it.

When I switch my pc on, the system fan runs very slow until it warms up. So I have to put up with the siren for around 10 minutes.
