The above program is for interfacing with the actual devices on the motherboard, I use an X app called wmalms that sits nicely in the taskbar: http://www.geocities.com/wmalms/ BIOS: If you're running an SiS 735 motherboard, or any other really, make sure you're running the latest BIOS when you encounter odd problems like this. Watching the temperature of the system from the BIOS is misleading, the system is doing virtually nothing, so the temperature drops quickly, I notice a sharp increase when running processor intensive tasks (compiling, rtcw, dnetc) while the rest of the time it will hover around 125F (Athlon 1.3ghz "c" core) if anyone else with an athlon system uses temperature monitors I would be interested in hearing what their average temperature is, I could find no data on AMD's website about what they should be, and what safe limits were =/ > > Jay > -- Matthew S.
