The fan headers you don't have anything connected to, so don't worry about them. The VCore 2 I assume your machine does not use (do you have a P4 by any chance?). The -12v and -5v lines being way off probably means your PSU isn't supplying them, or is doing an extremely bad job of it. There is

athlon xp 1700+ Hmm. I took a guess at the CPU from the temp2, as you might have been overclocking a P4 and overvolting it to 1.85. 69 degrees is a bit hot for an XP I've lots of things in my box: 4 hdds, dvd, cd, zip, ... Could this be the explanation of the high temps and bad voltage?

The more fans the better! One fan should pull air into the box. However, just having fans doesn't mean you'll have adequate cooling. There may be dead spots inside the case where air doesn't circulate no matter how many fans you have. On Thu, 25 Sep 2003 12:52:34 -0400 Ernie Schroder

Have you set up sensors.conf, and run sensors-detect? Also you need sensors -s or the proper init to load the settings. BillK On Thu, 2003-09-25 at 23:01, mathieu wrote: The fan headers you don't have anything connected to, so don't worry about them. The VCore 2 I assume your machine does

thanks everybody for all your quick and useful answers ;-) (as always on the gentoo forum. that's (another) reason why I'm fond of gentoo). I've seen pictures of water-cooled boxes and that sort of things. I'just want to have a quiet and normal heated PC. No need to do supra-conduction at 3°K.

You don't need liquid nitrogen or water G. Get a decent case fan - good quality bearings and motor and install it first. You definitely need a case fan. Also rearrange your cables so they don't block airflow. Then see what happens. On Thursday 25 September 2003 19:10, you wrote: thanks
