There are plenty of 3rd party freeware applications available (just do a Google search) which will monitor/report the temperature of the hardware in your system. ~G~ Gavyn |

I run the same processor on an Epox MB w/512 Mb ram, XP Home and run Seti@Home 24/7. The average temp is 120F to 125F after I cut a hole in the side cover and installed a fan blowing in. This made a 10F drop in temp. Hope this helped. |
