I am currently keeping a close eye on the onboard temp monitor through BIOS... My temp Spike was read on a case display with a sensor placed near the cpu.......
So far for the last half hour I am reading at 38 c with a constant cpu fan speed at 2425 to 2485 RPMs.......
I will keep an eye on it for the next few hours long with the external temp display and see if there is a discrepency....... Quote:

I would turn the computer on and watch the fan on top of the processor to see if it's spinning. |
