    Motherboard monitoring

    I just bought the P4-530+ECS matx motherboard from Fry's ... was a mild upgrade but the biggest benefit was I got to reuse my ddr memory and agp video card. The question I have is what cpu/mobo monitoring software should I use to keep track of temps and fan rotation. ECS does not seem to have...

    Jerker Gallery?

    Anyone know if you can get replacement parts, like extra screws and the plastic caps that go on the ends of the support beams? When I moved the movers "somehow" lost some parts.

    My 'puter is possesed!

    My 'puter is possesed!

    My 'puter is possesed!

    Ok it's a PNY 6800 AGP says on the box a 300 ps is required. So I should be fine, in fact on my old mobo I was until I switched them out. Could the mobo be drawing more juice than the older mobo? Old was a kt400x8 or something from albatron, pretty bare bones mobo and with the gpu was working...
