Hey all. I'm wondering if any of you monitor your CPU temp. What's normal? What are the ranges? etc. And what kind of cooling solution are you using (Fan that came with the CPU, kickass fan, water, helium)? I just got an AMD64, and I'm using the fan/heatsink it came with. The CPU temp is normally around 105 degrees, but when I actually make it work (it's been encoding OGGs for the past hour or so) it goes up to 120. As soon as encoding is done, it drops back down. My previous CPU was way hotter... till I accidentally disconnected the fan's temp sensor, so it was always on High. I'm curious about other peoples' setup now (: -Yaron -- _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
