CPU Temperature

[metamp]

Is there any way to controll the CPU Temperature or protect the CPU from overheating in BIOS setup

Don't even know what kind of board you have. Read the book and see if there are any alarms. My Abit KA7 has a prog. which will monitor it and I can see the temps while running.

Like JoeHead said, if you list your motherboard, someone may be familar with it. Perhaps it comes with its own monitoring utility? However, I know of no way to control the temperature aside from making sure you have a good heatsink/fan.

With that said, I *think* there's a program called something like "cpuidle" that will slow down your cpu when you're not "using it" that much, but I know nothing about it.

A good, free monitoring program with various alarms, called Motherboard Monitor, can be downloaded at:

I'm using 4.18 and haven't tried 5.x yet.
