Hi everyone I ran speedfan to try and see if it was a temp problem that was causing My PC to shut down all the time. Can anyone advise me on what the readings are as It shows to flame icons next to 2 of the temp readings. I have removed my cover from the PC and felt the heatsink fan and it seems to be cool enough I have also checked that both fans are working can anyone help me .Thanx
To me it looks like the Speedfan hasn't detected your sensors properly. Try Motherboard Monitor and see what it says.
Those flame icons in SpeedFan (as I understand) are the result of default values set for the program. If you haven't done so already - reconfigure SpeedFan so that if the temp goes over, say, 50c (or whatever value you want to set), a flame (warning) icon will appear. If you start up SpeedFan & press F1, the help files will come up with the author's comments on the default values that are set for the program - saying that those flame icons aren't necessarily a problem - just the way the program has been set. Temp 1 is more likely to be the actual temp of your CPU. I go off this temp and it always agrees with the temp in BIOS. I'm not sure about the reliabilty of temperature monitoring programs. I have used several, and they have all given different readings. Checking the temp in BIOS is probably just as, if not more reliable.
Speedfan is steadily but surely building a database of supported mobos and pre-configurated set-ups from it's many users. I started off by trying to configure myself. However, later on realised that somewhere out there, someone has already configured the program for my mobo. I think it is under the 'Info' tab that you can download and load a pre-configured file which will set-up speed fan for your mobo. Yes, I know it is lazy, but if someone already produced a good set-up, why not use it? For more info, look here - SpeedFan Configuration Manager You will need to register but that is entierly anonymous and free. Good luck.
