Just a quick query
I have just refurbished an older XP machine and a trying out multiple drives in it.
Now my only problem is the CPU fan runs flat out all the time and I cannot workout why. The BIOS doesn't show me any CPU temps nor does Speccy and the only one I can get any readings whatsoever is the HWMonitor .
At first I thought maybe it was the stock cooler and so fitted a Coolermaster TX3 with no change the noise from the fan was so intense I swapped it out for an ordinary case fan which is quieter but still flat out at speeds in excess of 2000 rpm.
In the HWmonitor shot I can see diodes 1 & 2 and the internal one and what I am presuming is the temp of the core (Intel Pentium 4 630 - single core two threads).
I have disabled the CPU fan in the BIOS but that did nothing so I enabled it again and now I ma just out of ideas except perhaps the board is not communicating with the CPU?
So has anyone got any suggestions please?
