CPU temp

[Prox]

What is the best way to check the temp that your cpu is running at at full capacity. I keep wanting to check on it to make sure that it is doing alright with the Folding@Home thing, but I dont know anyway other then through the BIOS. Anyhelp would be good.

Provided your motherboard is supported, I've found no better method than Motherboard Monitor 5. Aside from the fact that this great program can monitor just about anything your BIOS will output from a sensor into a Windows app, it's FREEWARE!!!

It depends on your CPU type (Intel/AMD), speed (higher speeds generally run hotter), etc.

As for F/C readings, whatever floats your boat.

As discussed in another thread, my T-bird 1000@1100 is currently running between 38C and 41C, with the case temp being a constant 23C.

Personally, I like to use Celsius because it's slighty steadier than Farenheit. While my CPU says 38C, that could range from 99-103F or so. It's just easier to use Celsius when trying to get a baseline reading, for me at least.

Ok for some reason it has decided to say that it is running at 0 degrees C . . . for some reason I dont think this is right. Is there anything I need to do to make this work better . .. or is it just not liking my mobo. oh yeah . . . once again as a reminder . . . abit kt7a mobo and durron 800 processor. just incase that matters.

Prox&gt; Go to the MBM website, and on the bottom left, there is a motherboard links section. Click on Abit, and check the sensors for the KT7A. Make sure those sensors are the ones you have set in the program, or it will return the incorrect readings.
