Well you may rely on that program, but I don't. I have one on mine and it says my chip is past heat specs, but when you put your fingers on the sink at the chip its very cool to the touch., and has ben hit with a gun to prove such. Even the bios temp has a different temp then program. At 02:52 PM 1/18/04 -0500, you wrote: >I can check the temp of my CPU and/or inside my case at any time by going to >a program on my machine.
