I think your problem is it's a store bought (retail) PC. And most likely it just has the bare minimum mobo which probably doesn't have the means to let speedfan take control of those senors to adjust fan speeds. As in laptops, except for those really high end gaming laptops and that's because those laptops use all high end and high quality hardware. So even if you do figure out how to setup speed fan it wouldn't work anyway do to the low end mobo on your retail PC.
realtemp is accurate and made for intel CPU's with no setup required ...........
As a guess It's likely the CPU is fitted with a stock fan, a comment from the OP would be useful.
Hey guys! Sorry for not turning in, ok downloaded realtemp, but can't figure it out... Not really tech savvyI'll post a screenshot and if I need to do anything else, please tell me!
Cheers
The test shows that your temps are fine.
You can also press Sensor test.
You can also run this program - it will put the comp under stress and tell you if the comp is stable. IntelBurnTest - The new stress-testing program
Ok, here is the result with this program.. not goodThe test shows that your temps are fine.

Any solutions or is it time to take it to the place I bought it from? If so, what should I complain about (what exactly is the problem). Thanks!
That instability could have also been caused by heat. When you run programs like Intel Burn Test, it's best to have Real Temp open at the same time so that you can keep a close watch on the temperatures.
it's kind of strange for a such low-end processor to fail that test. Who installed the current CPU cooler? If you did it, you sure you placed it correctly and applied thermal paste?
if you don't pass that test and everything was done right, you either need a better CPU cooler or better air circulation inside the case. Try doing the test with the case of the PC open. Anyway, you probably going to solve with 30$ or so for a new mid-range CPU cooler to replace whatever is up now.
It is a store bough PC so all I did is plug it in the power :)
It is still under warranty so I can't open the case because of it. That is why I'm interested in what is wrong so I can tell that to the ppl in the store.. I'll upload the burnin test again with realtemp next to it.. As much as I can figure it out it maxes out at 55'C..
Is that motherboard or a processor temp? (don't laugh if it is the same thing)
So basically all I need from you good people that are trying to help me is to figure out what to say to the tech support when I turn my PC back because it is obviously hardware problem..
Cheers!
