Temp screen not working

Post by jonny2 »

I was wondering how to set the screen to show my temps and fan speeds. I don't have it set right and now nothing shows up. Can someone tell me what to write in there for the temps, Thanks

LCD Smartie's built-in functions to show fan and temperature info (like $Temp1) rely on a separate utility called Motherboard Monitor (MBM). However, MBM development stopped a while ago and AFAIK many recent motherboards are not supported.

There's another fan/temp monitor utility called Speedfan which supports most motherboards. You need to use the Smartie Speedfan plugin (look in the plugins forum section) to get the info into Smartie. There are examples in the plugin readme.

Download and install Speedfan from http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php and the Smartie plugin from the forum (or here: http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net/speedfanplugin.html ) and you should be able to have fan RPM, CPU/system temps and voltages on your LCD.
