Motherboard/CPU temperature gauge...

by cgarrity - 10/2/05 6:17 PM

A few days ago I had to replace my power supply. After installing the new power supply, I was intermittently getting a beeping noise. I went into my CMOS and noticed that it was set to warn if the CPU temperature got up to 50 degrees cel. The actual temperature that I noted was 49 degrees. I suspect it hit 50 which turned on the warning. I increased the warning level to 55 degrees and I haven't heard the beep since.

Since I never heard this warning with the old power supply, I suspect the new one has slightly less fan power.

Since my motherboard and the CPU report actual temperature to CMOS, I'm wondering if there is a free or shareware program that will display temperatures within Windows? If anyone knows of one, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

If I browse around at my mobo site I find they have a monitor download that is designed for their product and runs under windows.

It will display things like.
Fan speeds
Voltages
Temps

This one will even tell you how many transistors are on the processor, and the color of the shoes on the person who put it into the box.
