    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).

    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..

    My PIII is happy to shut down at about 200 C
