Thanks for the other sensor program -=- gkrellm -=-

And, yes, my labels were wrong...

XSensors is not as "customizable" as gkrellm, I dropped down to my BIOS and took my readings from its labels...

In gkrellm, you can change your labels to what they are... In xsensors, I guess it sets the labels to what "it" thinks they are...

My readings are, as you suspected, SYS Temp is running approximatelly 8.5 deg C "lower" than my CPU Temp...

Another thing I found out about "xsensors" - even though you can provide a command line option of "-f" to translate readings into deg F, the display labels change, but not the readings themselves, they still display temps in C, but with a label saying they are in F. (I think someone didn't "program in" the switch yet...

As for your thought, yes, I agee, a larger case will provide more "breathing" space for everything - your temp settings should reflect lower values in a larger case. If a larger case is not available, I am sure that an additional fan would provide more "ambiant" air flow, as well.

I only have one case cooling fan, below the power supply, and "exhausts" the heat flow. My case is rather "roomy" inside, and the case does provide for an "additional" cooling fan to "pull" air from the front of the case, and blow across the mainboard, towards the back "exhaust" fan - but, considering my temps, I didn't feel I needed it. If I had a "dual" processor motherboard, and two "screaming" procs installed, I might have gone with the dual fan setup.

Thanks again for the "gkrellm" program, I like it much more than xsensors - a lot more options, and far more customizations
