System Temp...

[Clouds_mate]

Just anyone know good software to use to monitor the temp of my system. I dont want a big application running in the back ground. Just something light in the system tray.

I wana monitor the temps then hopefully disconnect a few fans in my coolmaster case as the beasty fan on the back is pretty loud. Well it isnt, but it would be much better if it wasnt running.

Also whats a healthy temp to run at.

Ta.

I'm a bit temp conscious as well so i use SpeedFan, Really good piece of software.

Max CPU temp table here, Suggested temp should be 20-30°C below max.

Good shout Mystic, i used to use this one and forgot what it was called when got my new mac, probably the best out there going in all honesty!

[Clouds_mate]

Fuck the Mac....





















Till i can afford one lol

[Mystic]

lol, gonna have to cut your losses one day and just go for it Leckie :P

How about getting a coolermaster Aerogate2 and plugging that in2 ur pc? Iv had one for years and its what i always use for temp control + you can plug the fans into it and adjust them on the fly.

[Clouds_mate]

Price of that is?

Yeh. Well when i get the media centre set up (see other thread) I will buy a macbook for my room.

Question about macs. Can you RDP onto a windows machine or VNC? or something like that?

[betty02]

yeah you can now vnc basically over the net also partition HD and dual boot in both windows and mac os x

[Clouds_mate]

I didnt want to install windows on the mac.

I would just want to access windows machine on the same network thats all

[betty02]

yeah you can then there tinterweb applications that let you do this and also normal apps and stuff ;) Thinks theres also a VNC for amc released? so that should/will work!

[Clouds_mate]

thats alright then. Just need a dirty student to get me some discount on a mac then.

[betty02]

Or go to there site and click education, type in your schools old anme and get education discount ;)

[Mystic]

Think theyv changed the education rules, you need to be on a .ac.uk network to get it :sad:

Think theres a VNC viewer for mac called Chicken VNC or something which should let you access windys computers, havnt ever tried it though as i still have a windows desktop on my main pc.

The aerogate things should cost too much i dont thinkg £30 absoute tops but more likely to be les than £20 by now.

eBuyer should sell a little selection of fan controllers which might do the trick too.

Yeah its exact name is 'Chicked Of The VNC' i think very random name but its what i used to use, plus theres a tutorial to set-up all the sharing that needs to be done before you can even use the client on a website somewere can find it fi you want?

I have a .sch.uk account so i suppose thats probs why mine worked :(

[Robb]

so can people at uni get Mac discount?

[Mystic]

Yeh, think its about 10/15%

Only allowed to buy like one laptop & one desktop a year using it though

[Robb]

Well good, all my mates at uni are too piss poor to be able to buy one themselves so that wouldnt be a problem.

[Clouds_mate]

Installed the app on my lunch (pc was turned off so i couldnt remote on from work)

Anyway it doesnt give a good example as it shows with the samples ont he site.

Check attached.

[Alex]

Unfortunately with a fresh install you need to rename the Temps, Bit of a ball-ache but can be done via load testing or just check the bios before boot.

On mine there is Aux, CPU, Mobo and HDD.

Theres a few configerations here, might have your mobo on it. http://www.almico.com/sfhandleconfig.php
