Default Determining temps in speedfan

I'm posting this for a friend. She has a Gigabyte GA-7VM400M 1.x mobo with an AMD Athlon XP 2400+ processor. These are the readings she's getting with speedfan.



How do we tell what temps1-3 are? Whatever temp 3 is, this is at idle, and concerns us.

HI there Callistra,

Welcome to The Site,

I think that the temps are probably 1- CPU, 2- ambient (the case temp) and 3 - possibly the VGA card, none of them seem too far out, the vga cards I've seen tend to run at 60-65.
It might be worth checking the airflow around the vga card as this can help bring the temps down a bit.
Hope that helps

It doesn't have a card, that I'm aware of. I believe it has onboard video.. but I will check in the morning and get back with you. If it is onboard video, any other suggestions?

Reboot and go into bios, theres normall CPU temp in there, see which corresponds.

or

Install sysmetrix and it will give you the cpu temp, you can then set the label for the corresponding temp in speedfan or just use sysmetrix if you like it.

Thank you! I will try sysmetrix

eta: I'm not understanding how to use this program to determine cpu temp AT ALL.

When you start it up go into options and you should be able to enable cpu temp reporting.
