    I want this answered first by exhonour and what tests his.
    It just says,
    You download either of the programs and you get a reading in celcius/faranheit ASSUMING your motherboard is supported by one of the programs.
    Such as:
    Then theres a picture.Picture of what ? I don't have it.

    I think he means SensorsView Pro & SpeedFan (ie there's the point about spelling!)

    If you have a cumbersome little case with little airflow, the pocket of hot air the video card holds will cause this problem. Either buy a PCI Slot Fan or open the case up and aim a desk fan at the video card (works for me).

    Info regarding Processor

    Hiiiiiiiiii guys
    I have an Intel core 2 duo E6320 Processor 1.86 GHZ which i have never overclocked since i bought it 2 years ago...........I haven't monitored it's temperature from begining but now when i accidently saw it's temperature on Sisoftware Sandra Lite i was shocked to see that it's around 68 degree celcious. However when i checked the temperature on my bios it stays around 51-55 degree maximum even on full load. But the sandra software still tells me that it's 68 degree. Then i removed the temperature sensing from my motherboard(Intel Dg965RY)by swapping RAM from DIMM A to DIMM B...........Now the Sisoftware sandra lite tells me that it is 51-65 degre C.........51 when idle and 65 on full load. I even tried more temperature sensing software like Sensor view pro etc. and they all tells the same. One more thing i don't have any GPU.....I mean i use integrated video adaptor(Intel GMA X3000). My PSU unit is 400 watts which i will be replacing wid Corsair VX450W. Now my question to you guys is this a normal temperature since i m using integrated video so the workload on CPU increases or my CPU has overheat problem?
