Hi RM,
I downloaded the 'Speedfan' linked from tha link above.
The program shows three temperatures when I open it:
Temp 1: 37 degrees c
Temp 2: 63 degrees c
HD0: 46 degrees c
What does that all mean, and is it too hot or too cold???
Chhers
Chief CaptainThe 63° sounds a little high to me. Ask TTT he uses speedfan for his AMD, I use Intel and a different temperature gauge.
I never go over 46°.
Chief CaptainI cant remember what the 1st and 2nd readings related to 
as I now use a different program to monitor my temps 🙄
This one has more features and a very good forum ➡

It should not affect FS9 or any other program at all unless something was drastically wrong: ie:
your heatsink fan was not working properly, or it was installed incorrectly with a poor seal between the heatsink and the CPU dye.
A P4 (Prescott Core) CPU will get that hot (63 degrees Cels.) under load with no problems at all. If it is running that hot at idle, then there is something wrong.
I just learned first-hand how important CPU temperature is.
The fan on my CPU (an old Athlon XP 1900) had gotten kind of noisy. I noticed it when the computer was first turned on, and then it would get quieter, and as the computer warmed up it got even noisier.
A few weeks ago, I started having problems with the computer hanging up, or just crashing. It always happened on graphics-intensive programs, like FS09 or HL2.
So I got down with a flashlight and watched the fan; when it got noisier, I could actually see the fan slowing down. I think the bearings had deterioriated with age (the machine is four years old this month).
So I picked up a new heatsink and fan, installed it a few nights ago, and I haven't had a hangup or crash since. And the computer is so much quieter!
But I still need a new computer. 😉

Captainmy old computer had a graphics card (ati) that overheated but didnt cut out, nearly fried the lot of us!
