hundreds. most mainboard cover disk have system utilities like this. i use Gigabyte's EasyTune4 as a system monitor and it does temp control quite. basically its almost like a Windows BIOS utility, although I hard-clock my BIOS settings and use ET4 only as a status monitor. You have that HP oem MSI cr*p though so you'd have to use some third party stuff. Anyway i thought you were building your own, or getting some Alienware? what happened to all that then?

I don't like that mint green on your walls. what's wrong with some nice wallpaper? there's a lovely new chintz in Laura Ashley, go well with that beech top table youve got there.

I never understood the fascination with clear cases, or windows in cases. There is really nothing special to see (I guess thats what happens when you open up computers all the time :p)

I love my case, this one: http://www.antec-inc.com/us/pro_details ... odID=81046

Remember that some older motherboards do not have thermal sensors, so even if you found a utility, it may not work. What is the model number (and brand) of your MB?

he's got one of those fonk Hp oem MSi mobos that you can't do f-all with, esp, prob MS-6367, thats a common one for HP builds. it'll be out of that series anyway that you can't get no support off MSi for, they just referyou back to the fonkenhausen HP support site which is about as much use as the Wondeful World of Barbie.

I see. Well I hope you've learnt your lesson, AoD; build your OWN computer! It's fun AND educational!
