okay how exactly do I get it without paypal ? also it doesn't have a cpu temperature sensor in mine from what he said.

It's a free download--the link (also available from the Download page reachable from Commaster's link) is:

which sent me to what he originally pointed to. as they don't want you to download it as it may get stuck and unless you mirror it off a website it says the php is where you find it.

Say, you're right...I skimmed that text the first time around and didn't think of that. You can download the link directly, though, from the website. See the following text on the Download page:

The latest version is [B]SpeedFan 4.42[/B]. Some tools (like Norton Internet Security or ZoneAlarm) may interfere with the download process. Basically, the REFERER field must be properly sent to SpeedFan's web server. Download won't work if any tool blocks it. For web masters: if you do not want to mirror the download locally to your website, please link to [url]http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php[/url] and not to the direct download as it won't work. Thank you for your cooperation.

If you click on the link labeled "SpeedFan 4.42" (bolded here for emphasis) that will get you the direct .exe download.

In the original post it is stated that Suddenly 21% goes to the System Idle (pseudo) process. This means that no thermal throttling is involved. I suspect that the FFT size has increased and that the information shared by the two cores does not fit in cache any more...

[QUOTE=speedfan 4.42]IT8712F support was improved.
Please, have a look at CONFIG / ADVANCED and read the help file about how to configure Advanced Options.[/QUOTE]

I don't even know what this is lol.

one temp says 38 C one says 58 C one says -128 C and apparently only 2 of fans are on lol.

science_man_88 2010-11-18 16:45

one thing I found by playing is that I have 3 fans not 2 and only one is above 59% in use unless I now control it, and the one that's in use is set to 100% and I can't hear it really but the others sound like they are trying to cut something lol.

The error looks safe to ignore. As for the temps, you're getting three different readings because the program is trying three different ways to check the temperature; one of them is going to be correct. If you have Prime95 or another such program using 100% of the CPU, the 58 C figure sounds about right; if it's mostly idle, then the 38 C figure. At any rate, your CPU temp is right where it should be.

Edit: Also, SpeedFan doesn't just read the CPU temp, it reads the hard drive temp as well. What are the three temp figures labeled? (I would assume HD0, Core 1, and Core 2 if my copy is any indication, in which case it's not reading the second core properly. That's fine, the cores are usually about the same anyway, so the Core 1 figure should suffice.)

they are lanbeled temp1,temp2,temp3 but in charts I think I can see more lol.

Ah, right, that's probably because the Pentium D doesn't have as flexible an interface for getting the temperature reading from the motherboard. In that case, Temp 2 would be your CPU. (Temp1 [i]might[/i] be your hard drive, but I couldn't say for sure. Temp 3 is clearly useless.)
