ok this maybe a dumb question, But I don't know how to check the temp of my cpu, or any of the components for that matter. Is there some kind of program or do I need to get a temp gage installed on the inside? I know they sell them and heard they are heard to install. Any advise?
You can try SpeedFan or go to your BIOS (usually press DEL key to access buring boot-up) and check it there.
