HWMonitor is amazing

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Just cause: I use my hand to check my CUP temps, Coffee gets pretty hot ya know?

 

HWmonitor is one of the best and it is portable meaning no install. You cannot control fans with it. Most OEM boards and laptops alike dont allow fan control, so if you want slower than you have to do it manually with a in-line resister or a fan controller. If they are noisy try updating the bios, sometimes that helps. I had a switch sound like a jet engine untill a certain firmware upgrade.

Thank you, I actually wanted to make the fans faster for better temperature.I really don't mind the noise.
