Thank you, Kyrre. Have downloaded and launched MBM5 just now. Russel, it works. Without CPU load: Board sensor 27C (MB BIOS value when restarting 27C) CPU sensors 27C (MB BIOS value when restarting 30C) CPU at full load after 30 min (task manager 100%): Board sensor 29C CPU sensors 45C Home temperature 18C. (Usually 24C - today's technical isues) CPU Fan (Intel's) speed from ~3400 to ~3550. Mike.

I'd say around 50C ! -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
