Hmm, I have only heard of temps... Have you considered that the
room/environment temperature also affects the CPU ? And of course,
overclocking also heats the CPU up, but a prog... still seems
unbelievable. Is there any URL (apart from the lm_sensors and cpuburn
ones) that discusses it ? Or can you personally tell me how it works
?

Is it available for windows ? I don't want to boot into Linux if it
can be done in win. I have my VIA HM (hardware monitor) installed in
win. I have an Athlon 750 with a single fan (gonna buy a dual fan
soon) and so far I have registered temperatures from 45 to 49 degrees
Celsius (hope you don't use Fahrenheit).

OK, well, can you email me privately then, please ?
TIA
