There is some risk running Speedfan. On my Dell Dimension P4D it crashed windows XP (simulated hardware fault and hard stop - something that doesn't happen too often except with bad drivers). Uninstalling Speedfan fixed things. Looks like Speedfan only works with the planars listed, and can do some harm on other systems.
By observation, the CPU was overheating from ambient in less than two minutes!

On my homebuilt desktop with a 2GHz P4, the CPU temp usually hovers around 65C/149F, at least according to ASUS PC Probe. The motherboard temperature is around 34C/93F. I've got lots of fans installed.
The CPU temp used to be around 55-60C until I installed the Folding@Home software, which every FTer should do

Water cooled P4 775 3GHZ overclocked to 3.5GHZ 35c, Video card is also water cooled running at 43c dual monitor and Digital TV card in use most of the time.
The video card is on the output of the CPU water system, so it's a little high.
Vapor Phase is my next "pimp my machine" venture, when I stop spending money on flights. http://www.pccasegear.com.au/prod3114.htm

) according to AsusProbe. It might spike up to 110F if I'm running two instances of Prime95 or something...
