I have an old PC running on a network in this room. Its specifications are as follows:
- Pentium 200 MHz running on Asus TX97-E with the latest BIOS.
- 64 MB SIMM RAM
- Maxtor 80 GB HDD (cooled with HDD fan) and Conner Periphals 1275 MB HDD.
- S3 ViRGE accelerated with some 3Dfx card.
- Sound Blaster 16 soundcard.
- Running Windows 2000 SP4.
Yeah, it's that old. xD Anyway, I've checked the BIOS hardware monitor and SiSoft Sandra. Both of them report the CPU temperature as around 67 degrees Celcius, but Motherboard Monitor 5 reports it as 32 degrees Celcius. Fan is running at max with 5720 RPM. For your information, the MBM5 also reports the case temperature as 30 degrees Celcius and the (Maxtor) HDD as 34 degrees Celcius.
I'm guessing the 67 degrees Celcius value is the correct one, but what do you guys think? Which one of them is correct and can you maybe explain that behaviour? >_o
