I've seen software that monitors the power supply voltages. What is the name
of the software?
 
Re: 5v, 12v, etc.

This software is supplied by the motherboard manufacturer.

There's a description here:

Re: 5v, 12v, etc.

MBM5 is one I've used in the past, however it's now outdated.
I've never used these and don't know anything about them, yet you may want to check
them out.

Very true but I don't mind b_11 but it would be nice if b_11 said a little
more information in his[her] posts.

Beyond what the others have supplied; these applications will only work IF
the mobo chip set(s) support such activity/monitoring.
The chips must supply hooks/feed back to allow them to work at all.
var-Depending upon the age of the target mobo/power supply, the function may
or may not be supported, though most newer boards do supply some [if not
all] the necessary abilities. If actually interested, please either use the
manufacturers' tool, or check to ensure the particular chipset is supported
[in third party programs] as some have been known to cause difficulties.

Everest is a good one and it's older Home version is free which you can
still find around the web. It's very stable.

I seeI have Everest Home v2.01.347 of which I just took a quick
screenshot of where it shows voltages, and I circled them to show.

Re: 5v, 12v, etc.

...as MEB so rightly said though, your MB must support the monitoring! Mine
does but I only start up Everest if I want to see something, otherwise it
stays off.

Rick,
The last free Home version available was 2.20.405. If you want it you can get it

Like Dan said, would be nice if a little more information was provided by
b11.
As usual, a flurry of replies that may or may not be a solution. Hook,
line, and sinker.

I'll have to pay more attention to that thought next time.

I read everyday but haven't had time to post much, but I never caught the

Thanks Brian,

I didn't keep up so much with the Home version since I used the Ultimate
version, but replied to the OP for the free version and picked one of the
zip non-install versions to run/open for the screenshot just to make sure
the free home version had the Sensors too..

I had contemplated whether to even respond to b11_'s post, as I have
previously, largely due to the failure to define the why's for the postings
within the post, and when confronted or requested for more information, if
supplied, the information generally follows vague lines or descriptions
which still require *educated guesses* for the most part.
As b11_ has been posting here and elsewhere [which can be searched for], it
would appear obvious that it would be known that more definitive statements
[preliminary information] lead to definitive answers.

Often these discussions [b11_'s] lead to long dis-similar threads as no one
knows exactly how to answer as the questions are so vague.
For those and other reasons I chose *exhibitions* [a public show} rather
than expositions [interpretation] or expeditions [for some particular
purpose] though each might apply in some form.

For instance to accually answer the question *as placed*, one would need to
list ALL the programs which might apply to each chipset, manufactuer tools
and links, third party programs, and which chips are supported and which
aren't, etc.. Moreover, one would also need to address whether these
programs must be run individually, as part of startup, etc., and whether any
potential conflicts could occur, as not even the chipset is known, and some
programs/applications do have distinct issues which may affect the system,
OS, and/or the motherboard.

Per my original response: without that specific information those whom
might have tried to use some monitoring program on an old machine or a board
which has no support, or the wrong chipset, and been unsuccessful or worse,
there lay the answer. Hence a completion of potential issues without
potential lengthy threads of complaints of those failures.
