What is the latest free temp monitor
I took my cover off my computer to record the alarm sound it makes
occasionally and the alarm quit. So I guess that means it is getting too hot. It was a faint alarm that made about 5 beeps in a row, pause and about 5 beeps in a row again. I guess I need a temp monitor. What do you guys use? |

Or check the website of your motherboard producer, they might have a utility. Or google for: xp temperature produced several free or shareware programs. |

I sprayed some compressed air into the CPU fan as the vents were very clogged. It seems to have helped a lot. Hitting it with a hammer or blowing on it is about the only thing I knew to do. Glad one of those worked. Thanks everyone |

Glad one of those worked. Thanks everyone I've an old squirrel-cage fan setup (the fan is a 2" tall circular spinning wall inside the heat wicking apparatus). Not so easy to clean with air (have a 60gal. 220v air compressor). Tooth brush and soft-bristle parts brush, and a bowl of alcohol, or was that several . . . . Assuming the bearings are sealed, anyway, cleaned up nicely and runs like a champ after well over 5 years usage on it. Not that it's any better for the wear then or now, just an eyesore that was turning into a rodent-sized fuzzball. My hands were stained yellow for a day or two after the cleaning. And 52C is normal when not "pushing" - encodes, usually, batching processing multiples of soundtracks through normalization and whatnot. 80F ambient, which may reach slightly over 100 during the hottest summer. |

Do you smoke? That would explain the yellow tar from the fan |
