Ugh. I made some progress but because I'm often stupid it wasn't in a way I like. I took off the Freezer 7 cooler and in the middle of doing that I started thinking about an odd BIOS error I'd been getting since I put in the new BIOS battery. It looked like an error you get when the battery is...

Okay. I installed Handbrake and started encoding an HD video and it went up to this: THEN the alarm went off. 91-95C. Ouch. What I'm going to do is take the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro cooler off and make sure I put it on right, just to rule that out. (seems really unlikely that's the problem...

I installed Core Temp on the Windows XP partition and the results were odd. When it first started all the cores' temperatures were floating around 55-60C. I wanted to run a video encoder to see what they showed when the alarm goes off but I didn't have any installed under Windows. I tried a not...

I have a PC I built back in early 2008 that had run without any cooling issues for a solid 7 years before a few months ago when it started setting off the CPU temperature alarm. It happens when it starts running above 75C under high workload (usually video encoding). Even when just sitting idle...
