CPU Heat?

[Jethro]

Is there any software out there that can detect CPU heat and turn
machine off when heat is excessive?

Thanks

I don't know about turning off the machine, but I have used MBM and it
works fine.

Look on the mobo maker's web site (or check the software CD that came
with it) as they probably provide their own temperature and fan speed
monitor software.

Or use Speedfan (and be willing to dig into what it detects to make sure
it finds the CPU and case temps and the fan speeds, too.

I downloaded MBM and installed it. So far I don't see that it will
shut my machine down if temp reaches a temperature level - nor do I
see a place to set that to be done. Am I missing it?

I have a ASUS P4B533-VM MOBO, and don't see any mention of temperature
monitoring. Fan speed either.

I'll try to find 'speedfan' and download it to see what it does.

I don't see where Speedfan will shut my machine down at a threshold,
Did I miss it?

OhOh

Speedfan says temp1 is on fire at 130F. How do I determine what temp
that is? I hope it is not the CPU.

Thanks

go to the Asus web site...they have their own software. Its called PC
Probe....should do the trick for ya

130F = 54C, not on fire at all, the typical CPU runs that
hot at full load.

C = (F - 32) * 5 / 9.

ASUS P4B533-VM,

The Socket 478 P4 will throttle itself if it gets too hot. Refer to
section 4-3x of the manual for options.

Yes, that's the main problem with MBM, the user interface isnt that intuitive.

Probe should be on the motherboard CD, it does that stuff.

I'll try to find 'speedfan' and download it to see what it does.

Thats the easiest one to use if it can find the temperature sensors properly.

Dang! I didn't see that. Thanks

I thought it was me. More correctly I.

I'll take a look - I still have the CD.

The first form is the correct one |-)

After you determine which version your boards supports
(checking what is on the motherboard CD), Asus PCProbe
and/or (Asus) PCProbe II, you might want to check on newer
versions, via Google search or on Asus' website.
