xenocide,
Welcome to SevenForums.
first, I'll address determining if your running hot.
CoreTemp http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ Core Temp monitors CPU temperatures
SpeedFan SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer
monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures, shows hard disk temperatures, shows cpu temperatures, supports SCSI, can change fan speeds
SPECCY- System Information Tool http://www.piriform.com/speccy
Operating System, CPU and Temp, Ram, Motherboard, Graphics, Hard Drives, Optical Drives, Audio, Peripherals, Network info.
Simply put—this is the best and it’s free!
For now I'm going to recommend SPECCY because with Speccy you will also be able to fill out the "System Specs" area. Just use copy and paste from Speccy to the spec part of SevenForums.
At the top part of the SevenForums webpage, their is a choice called "User CP" which stands for User's Control Panel.
Click on
User CP
On the left-hand side, under Your Profile click on
Edit System Spec
fill in, via copy and paste as much as you can
Click on
Save Changes
OK now we have the spec info updated and you can report back the temps you see.
I'm submitting this reply and in the next epistle I'll address other problems.
