Monitoring CPU temperature?
My PC was 'frozen' yesterday morning, and when I eventually got it
restarted it booted to BIOS. There I found the CPU temperature, displayed in red, was soaring, plainly due to the CPU fan failing. (I had re-oiled it a month or so ago, and had not yet got around to replacing it; now paying price for that g.) I'm seeking a fan replacement (separate post) but meanwhile have re-oiled it yet again and am up and running once more. So: is there some way to get that CPU temperature displayed while in Windows (XP Home)? Or can that only be done from BIOS? -- Terry, West Sussex, UK |

If this is an Intel machine, you can install "Intel Active Monitor" which
gives temprature readings. |

How about trying the mb maker's website and seeing if they may have a temp
sensing utility specific to their board for download. -- Jan Alter or "Jonathan Wilson" wrote in message ... If this is an Intel machine, you can install "Intel Active Monitor" which gives temprature readings. |

Most are designed with either a dry shaft or a sealed bearing. Oil simply attracts "stuff", it increases the fan torque, decreases speed, and generally produces no benefits whatsoever. Q |

Get it at http://www.dvhardware.net/modules.ph...showpage&pid=3. It's free. Andy |

Well, I now have a working PC, which I regard as a *major* benefit! The fan had virtually ground to a halt, crippling the system. As I said, this is merely a temporary solution, but it sure beats being unable to use my PC for several days. BTW, how does this 'stuff' get in, with labels sealing both sides? -- Terry, West Sussex, UK |
