Not Skyrim per se, but wanting a Temperature monitor for PC

To the makers of Conduit - if your stuff is not malware why do you feel the need to hide it

 

Bingo, lol

 

Thanks guys. I forgot I had a GPU temp readout in ATT (doh). That looks good. Seen 70*C or so, usually 47-49*C. 46*C right now

 

My worry, since nobody asked, was that I cleaned out my PC case with canned air. Fans were getting a bit loud, caked with dust. I keep the PC low, on a short stand I made about 2" off the carpet. PC is on a glass sheet supported by steel. I took off my CPU heatsink and fan, because blowing the dust with it installed just packs it in. I put a little thermal compound back on the sink when I re-installed. It's a Zinc Oxide/Silicone from Wakefield; good stuff. I didn't use a lot. Socked it back down...and then that fan rpm spike, wow. But hey, the fans are quieter now, lol. There was a good amount of dust

 

May have been coincidence though re: the fan speed up; I just did the same thing in-game and no fan spike.

 

I'll do some d/ling and see what's what

 

Thanks all

Core Temp is good, but if you got a laptop then google forums dedicated to the model/family, they can recommend specific tools if necessary.

 

I live in the tropics and my room gets plenty of dust (apartment facing busy road), generally need to clean up the machine during weekends. Light brushing with an old toothbrush, nothing fancy.
