too hot for me ..

[akshtray]

I recently purchased a new computer .. and i have noticed that the computer gets hot rather quickly .. nowhere except for around the power supply area .. if i touch the computer anywhere else it is pretty cool .. am i just being paranoid cos this is a new computer .. are there any softwares which i might be able to use to figure out what temperature is inside my computer ..

thanks

did your motherboard come with some sort of temp monitoring utility???

 

[akshtray]

not to my knowledge it was a computer i purchased from Medion .. so they prolly provide the least that they can on the Motherboard .. so i would really dont that .. is there any software which might show me that though ..

Try either Motherboard Monitor 5 or Sisoft Sandra. Both are free downloads.

good call on the MBM 5

 

[akshtray]

MBM 5 does not show up and values at all .. everything is 0 .. do i need to configure anything specifically to get this to work?

Also, SiSoft Sandra is nice but what component of it do I need to run to see if my PC is overheating.

all your help is appreciated

thanks

need to look at the read me or help file. long process to setup to read temps, assuming your OEM box has the sensors in the first place

if it's stable, i wouldn't even worry about it.

You might have to adjust the options, take the diode setting off the sensor option
