I have seen a few people mention that they can't get Motherboard Monitor to work with the A8N-SLI board. I don't know if this is a widespread problem or not, but since Asus Beta Bios 1008 trashed Asus Probe on my system and at least a few others, I thought it may be helpful to post the settings to use in order to enable MBM5.
EDIT: Software based overclocking and diagnostic tools may interfere with MBM5 and cause lockup at the desktop after making changes in these programs. Try setting a delay of 10 seconds for MBM to load. If it locks at the desktop, you will probably get a error screen from MBM stating that it failed to load, QUICKLY (it will lock up in a few seconds) CLICK THE SELECTION TO DELETE THE MBM.INI FILE.
I had to restart a few times after making changes in A64 tweaker before it gave me the mbm error screen.
During program installation and setup it asks you which mobo you have - Select ASUS CUSL2-C
After installation bring up Dashboard and settings.
After each change remember to click "apply" to see the change take effect in the dashboard.
On the temps setup screen select Temp 1 from the drop down, and in the "Should Display Sensor" drop down select ITE8712F-1.
For temp 2 (Board Temp) select sensor ITE8712F-2
EDIT: temp 3 (Chipset temp?) select sensor ITE8712F-3
Thanks JudgeDredd for pointing this one out- Seems I am not entirely sure what ITE8712F-2 and ITE8712F-3 monitor but I think #2 is System temp, whatever that means) and #3 monitors the nForce 4 core. If anyone knows for sure , please word-up!
From the Basics screen , scroll down to enable detection of temp sensors on your hard drive. You have to restart MBM5 for the drive temp to show up.
On the Voltages setup screen select Core 0 (Vcore) and "Should Display" will be locked at "MBM Fixed" so in the Voltage Configuration box select ITE8712F Standard 2, Make this same Voltage configuration selection (ITE8712F Standard 2) for +3.3, +5 and +12 volt displays. I couldnt get any of the negative values to work with any selection.
You can select the visual tab and rename each gauge anything you want to. Before Asus Probe was killed by the 1008 Bios it totally agreed with MBM5 on all the settings. I miss the history function of probe, but MBM has one too that I haven't really used yet.
Here is what mine looks like. Note that the room temp at the time was 25C and Pime had been running for about 2 and a half hours.
I hope this helps those having trouble setting up MBM5 on their system.
P.S.- If anyone cares to make some reccommendation on getting my system Prime stable at 2.6- I'd like that
