Hi
Background:
Recently I have noticed that my Athlon XP 2800 CPU is
running at about 65oC at idle and 65-72oC when under 100%
load. I have installed an exhaust fan which has brought
the temp to about 61oC at idle and 65-70oC under 100%
load. This is not as much of an improvement as I hoped
for. Using Everest I have noticed that the CPU fan speed
has dropped and only occasionally gets up to full speed
(ie when CPU is at its hottest). Clearly I want it at
full speed all the time.
Question:
Is there any way to contol the CPU fan through software?
(I have no options in the BIOS) in XP Home?
Thanks
