My BIOS shuts the suystem down if the CPU temperature gets too high. This happened a few times last summer, and saved me from a fried chip.
If your BIOS does not protect your system, I would be nervous about shutting down a program that monitors CPU temperature.
It is my understanding that modern CPU chips are more likely to fry than the older chips which ran at less than 1Ghz (1000Mhz).
I keep replying to this thread and it doesn't show up..arrrr
Motherboard Monitor or get a Compunurse
Thanks, my bios will shut down at 70C but that's a bit high isn't it?
I'll check out the apps, thanks Justin
A bit high indeed, but even Athlons can stay on at anything under 90C-- it won't operate at 90 C but it can shut down..Quote:
