Author Topic: CPU temperature monitor (Read 380 times)

I've searched ten pages of this forum looking for a program to watch CPU temperature. I want to look at my temps while in different games or programs without having to restart the computer; thereby cooling it down. I don't, however, want to benchmark.

I'm not too worried about it; 21 degrees C in BIOS after about 5 min of sitting there. I'm just a curious guy I guess.

Motherboard monitor, highly configurable, yet easy to run and understand.

yep, its what i use. i have it write the temps to txt file every 60 secs or less, so i can go back look at the temp trends over the last couple hours.

Speedfan is smaller and more tweakable, can graph any temp, fanspeed or voltage. It gives a reading for every sensor in your comp, some in 2 or more formats. Also gives gpu and hardrive temps. It also lets you adjust your fanspeeds acording to temp.

Speedfan bothers me in more than one way. I'm trying the other now; it doesn't seem too bad.

LOL....I sit at 55ºC under load and 49º at rest. Now thats TOASTY

My CPU is rated to 70º so its all good...and my pc is quiet as a mouse fart, and faster than a Niki whine.

My compy's louder than an overheating Runstang, but goes faster than anything I've every met up with. Might even OC it sometime since it's rated for something like 50 degrees and it's running at 30 under load.

thats not toasty, P4s are known to IDLE at that temp

mine is at 44c full load, and thats TWO cores at 2400mhz:D
