-- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 10:33 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 I just downloaded and installed SpeedFan on my computer. It is a program that senses fan speeds and internal temperature. It's reading my temp at 122 farenheit, 50 celcius. Good? Bad? I dunno. You tell me. -- Posted by anthonykorsen007 at 10:37 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 Most processors are set to automatically shut down when they reach a dangerous temperature, and that's usually around 180 Fahrenheit. Mine can actually be set to go all the way to 196 before shutting down, so yeah, 122 is perfectly fine. -- Posted by ecoyd1 at 10:38 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 *downloading* -- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 10:40 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 With the automatic fan speed control, it's down to 118. I like it already -- Posted by Meep123 at 10:47 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 Im running at 32 Celsius its telling me. -- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 10:48 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 Quote: from Meep123 at 1:47 am on Mar. 18, 2007 Im running at 32 Celsius its telling me. I'm not really sure how to use it, though. A lot of the pages are blank and I dunno what to set things on... -- Posted by Meep123 at 10:50 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 Yeah It's confusing me too. Also, my processor is only about a month or 2 old, so thats probably why its running cooler. They tend to run hotter as they get old. -- Posted by ZenaGirl at 10:50 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 Can you give the URL where you download this? -- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 10:56 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 Quote: from ZenaGirl at 1:50 am on Mar. 18, 2007 Can you give the URL where you download this? http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php -- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 10:58 pm on Mar. 17, 2007 Quote: from Meep123 at 1:50 am on Mar. 18, 2007 Yeah It's confusing me too.   Also, my processor is only about a month or 2 old, so thats probably why its running cooler.

I started reading how to configure it in the help section, but it's not helping at all since most of the pages are empty... -- Posted by anthonykorsen007 at 9:00 am on Mar. 18, 2007 I wouldn't even worry about trying to keep a monitor on the desktop. Keep the dust out of the case and the cooling systems will work properly; in the event that it does overheat it will shut itself off to prevent damage. But you'd have to be doing some seriously heavy stuff for a long time to cause that (or clog your air vents). -- Posted by Fender at 1:18 am on Mar. 20, 2007 My processor runs at 47 degrees Celsius.
