thanks for everything. What I am most suspicious of is if the numbers
on PC PROBE are wrong. ASUS Motherboard monitoring programs have a
tendency to report the temperature 10-20 degrees more that the actual
temperature as said in the forum links posted previously. Is there an
accurate program (that doesnt have the power to alter fan settings ro
anything) that I can use to monitor the temperatures? Isn't 45C an
unusual temperature when starting up the computer after being left of
for atleast 10 hours?
