Replacing the heat sink and fan is an option, but first I'm going to replace the heat sink compound and see what happens to the temps. Haven't had an opportunity to do that yet, though.

Thanks, Barman 58. Do you mean overall percent of CPU usage, or can I break that down into percent of CPU use by task?

Last January my PC CPU fan began racing unpredictably. I removed it and re-applied heatsink compound. It's running much better now, usually staying in the 50s, and when programs occasionally demand...

Thank you, A Guy. I currently have it on the desktop and can run it manually from there. It currently doesn't want to run as a task on startup. Any ideas on how to get it to run on startup as a task?

Install RealTemp

I hate to ask a remarkably dumb question, but how do I install RealTemp 3.70? I see no installation file in the directory, and I see no instructions on RealTemp's website. Thanks.
