Jack W Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 According to SpeedFan, I could cook anything on my computer... a whopping 973 °C. Please someone tell me this is inaccurate. And if so, how do I go about fixing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+devHead Subscriber² Posted May 30, 2016 Subscriber² Share Posted May 30, 2016 I would say that's impossible - 973 C is 1,783 F. At that temperature, everything in your PC would be on fire, and you would not likely be able to get within several meters of it. Your house would likely be on fire as well.

When I first saw it I was like "uh woww ok let's fix this quick" then realised it probably just glitched for some reason. Restarted my PC and it is now reading at 45, so hopefully should all be good. +devHead 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that. Apparently, this is a common issue with SpeedFan. Here's a link to another app that might work better: http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ Jack W 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says it is only for Intel processors - mine's an AMD, and does this program actually allow you to set the fan speed? The only reason I actually use SpeedFan is to set one of my case fan's speeds, as it always runs at 100% needlessly, so I set it to 30%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidding of course. Anyway, obviously there was an error with Speedfan. There is a limit for how hot CPUs get and once X threshold is reached it should 1) throttle down and if that doesn't work 2) shut down the whole computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHoKiLLa Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Best app for monitoring is Aida64, it'll do temperatures and much more, you can tell it to output to the registry and use something like Rainmeter to monitor info (You can even output to Logitech keyboards), that's my setup (looks like I need to edit my config cos 2 drives aren't showing up...there, fixed ) : Edited May 30, 2016 by PsYcHoKiLLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I find Speedfan a little odd at times; just didn't want the error to end up being something with the actual hardware, considering I only recently upgraded it all.

Naaa...just kidding about the AMD's. I'm not really a "fanboy" of any brand ... though I made an attempt at being funny. Anyway, I would think that if the system itself saw such a huge spike in temp (not necessarily 973C which would cause a small mushroom cloud to form)... that it would shut down to protect itself. You could always test it by taking off the heatsink and seeing if it shuts down. Worst thing that could happen is it catches fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaveZero Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 And here I thought these temps were the norm.... I always wondered why there was a gaping big hole at the other side of my motherboard. Spoiler Really old image of a Realtemp bug where it shows Fahrenheit in Celsius degrees. I remember I still had something like that on my imgur account, that i7 920 D0 stepping was amazing though! 4GHz @ 1.2V was the end result, ran cool and never got hot.
