Sysmetrix/MBM5 help needed

Sunday, April 27, 2008 by r34l17y_h4x | Discussion: OS Customization

I want to make or modify a sysmetrix skin that can monitor the cpu usages and temperatures of all 4 cores, as well as monitor other voltages, temperatures etc. Part of my problem is that my motherboard is not supported by MBM5, also that sysmetrix's capabilities with regard to MBM5 are very limited. I can already monitor cpu usage and temparatures across all 4 cores, but cannot access this information in sysmetrix as there is no option for multi core cpu usage readouts in sysmetrix, and the temperatures are in sensors 9, 10, 11, and 12 and cannot be moved [MBM5 only goes to 8]. The rest of the imformation I require MBM5 simply cannot gather from my motherboard.

So, is there either:
a) a program that can monitor all/most of the required readouts that can send this information to MBM5 for use in sysmetrix
a way to modify sysmetrix and/or MBM5 to help fix my problem. Modifications for sysmetrix could include changing it to take information from other programs and/or to extend its compatibility with MBM5. Modifications for MBM5 could include changing it to take information either straight from my motherboard, or from other programs so that the information could be sent to sysmetrix.

Hope you can help.
Thanks in advance!

I'd suggest you take a look a Samurize as a replacement to Sysmetrix and Speedfan as a replacement to MBM5. Creating your own Samurize config is not that difficult and a speedfan plugin should be available.
