Motherboard Monitor did a good job keeping a big temp log for me, but on my Intel mobo it would lock up about 20% as soon as it was run at system start. And then, if I had to reboot my PC while it was hot, the chance of lockup rose to about 80%.
Took me a good while to realze that MBM was doing this. Haven't had any problems of the sort since it was uninstalled.
I do run the Intel utility on occasion. Have had no trouble with that.
