To check the Temperature of the CPU, GPU, MB, HDD you can use: EVEREST http://www.lavalys.com/ SIV 'System Information Viewer' http://www.rh-software.com/ SpeedFan http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php Motherboard Monitor 5 http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=311&file=9&evp=c230ac3b359a1981f1b0a9ee8fa4a983 for old motherboards The following programs run only on newer CPUs (Intel Core & AMD64) Core Temp http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ check/show in systray the Temperatures of the CPU Cores Real Temp (Intel Core (and up) processors only) http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ TThrottle http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/download.html http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/tthrottle_manual.html for automatic Temperature regulation  - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)  |

Some of these programs (Core Temp, Real Temp, TThrottle) report only the internal CPU temperature measured by internal in-the-CPU-chip diode. Other (EVEREST, SIV, SpeedFan) report both internal and external (measured by diode (located under the processor) and sensor chip (located on the motherboard)) CPU temperature. Motherboard Monitor 5 reports only external CPU temperature. This is why you can see different CPU temperature values. Intel defines max internal (TJunc) temperature. AMD defines max "CPU case" (measured at the centre-top of the CPU package) temperature. Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

PC Wizard 2010 from www.cpuid.com is also very good at telling you al sorts of things about your PC. Including temperatures etc. |

If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, do also check the "Gadgets" menu on your desktop. Here you can also find good temperature checking applications, although some that check the GPU will need an external program such as Rivatuner running. |

If you get the "GPU Observer" you do not need any external drivers to get GPU temp, load, fan speed etc if you search on the windows gadget site you can find it quite easily :) Tim |

I'm installing BOINC and I noticed this post and was wondering if, there is a way to limit the usage of BOINC in term of CPU and GPU processing determined by a factor, like 50%? |

If you are running windows, you could try TThrottle. Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) SETI@home classic workunits 3,758 SETI@home classic CPU time 66,520 hours |
