" The Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) is the industry’s first open-standard PC monitoring and control protocol for real-time communication and control of system thermal, electrical, acoustic and operating characteristics. ESA-certified components and applications allow enthusiasts and power users to diagnose component-specific issues and tune their systems to meet their individual needs—whether it be reaching peak performance or modifying for a whisper-quiet home theater operation. With ESA, PC and component manufacturers can deliver differentiated and value-added products, giving their customers unprecedented visibility and control over their systems and allowing them to achieve the highest possible performance."

1. has anybody actually used this as opposed to other hardware monitoring programs?
2. is it worth getting a supported motherboard? (680i, 780i)
3. what software do you use to monitor your temps, performance, etc.?

I don't have any personal experience, but I've heard good things.
