CPU Idle 6 from fosi or CoolerXP included with PC Alert4 from the MSI support and drivers site.

Check your CMOS setup program first and see if your motherboard has support for system monitoring. if so, check the documentation that came with your system or motherboard to find out how to enable it. if your motherboard dose'nt support system monitoring, you may be ass out of luck.

I suggest buy some extra fans.. maybe or big heat sink..
Fans are loud.. hmm they do have special Coolers also that let out very chilled air. (computers will run in cold weather... unless it's so cold it starts to freeze.)

Be wild...water cool it. lol MBM 5 is pretty good and is used by most overclockers. In a matter of fact why don't you get plenty of help at www.overclockersforum.com

i'm spark_of_ice there refer me! :P B)

You can also check your powersupply if it's not upto par,it could cause heating issues-I was using a 250w powersupply-then upgraded to athlon 1200 and geforce 3,this is when I started to get overheating issues.
I eventually bought a better case with 400w powersupply and never had a prob. afterwards. It was like $67.

Try SiSoftware Sandra if your motherboard has monitering capabillities
This progam rocks for info about your computer.
Use the 2003 Pro edition.



Peace brotherdoobie

When I overclocked I took off the case and put a fan next to it. 633 Mhz was really fast then. You could go to radio shack and buy a temp measurer thingy if your motherboard doesn't support it.

I use MBProbe rather than MBM. I've found it easier to setup.

Sisoft was good, i had the trial for a while, but it wasnt exactly friendly....

"your pc is upside down"






and rather than telling you a lot of stuff you had to go and look the errors up , which was annoying, but it did get the info

has anyone managed to get a pc that sisoft approves of? with no tips or errors?

I think its impossible

i am sorry to tell u that none of these software worked for me but that Fan idea was really good, i tried it and it is working now.

Software wont cool down your computer at all... better to just fix the problem with more cooling and not have to worry about it
