Speedfan VS Corecenter?

I downloaded Speedfan so I dont have to use corecenter anymore. I was comparing their readings, and corecenter temp readings were abour ~4C higher than speedfan. Which readings would be more accurate?

Depending on ur BIOS I'd say Speedfan.
I run BIOS 1.0 and get the same difference, also it says in BIOS 1.4 Changelog, that "Temperature in CoreCell" or sth. like that was fixed, so i guess it's likely that CoreCell in BIOS 1.0 to 1.3xx give u faulty readings.

Which is right? speedfan or corecenter for temperatures?

For some reason SpeedFan is reporting 3c less than CoreCenter for the CPU temperature, they report the same temperature for system temp.

I've always found that CoreCenter always gives a very conservative (erring on the hot side) reading. Other hardware monitors (SpeedFan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php), MBM (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/), Hmonitor (http://www.hmonitor.com/)) consistently report 4-5 degrees less for all CPU temps (idle and load) than MSI's CoreCenter does. I have also found that everybody else who has tested this has found the same thing.
As for which one is "right", just about all temperature readings (BIOS included) are not especially accurate. I tend to trust whatever monitor I'm using at the time. In the broad scope of things, 3-5 degrees is not the difference between stability and instability (or usability and unusability). The temperature report is more or less just an estimate.

Speedfan Temp cpu/sys

hi all
im new for this forum, but im not a real newb.. eheh..
i tried the setup for the speedfan.... quite fun to know.. but really strange...
thermistor diode : cpu : idle: 26°C load (prime95) 48°C
sys : ~37-38 (quite hot for my config)
PIIdiode : cpu idle : 38°C load 42°C
sys : 128°C
ok.. lets talk about my fan config... i got an x-gear case so i got a side panel fan intake... i change the fan for a better one and put a tube to get the air directly to the cpu fan (about less than half inch tube-cpufan), i strong 80 mm fan on the back panel.. i already cut the case's grill infront the fan its a intake to (blow inside case) i got a slot fan under my vid card (2 pci slot lower) and a top fan on the top of the case.. i got a psu double fan (aerocool) so its another "outtake" fan over my cpu heatsink... i got 2 hdd ... its a good hot point :P
So what is the trouble??i found 42° a lil low for load temp.. but 26° really low for an idle.. in a 37° case...37 isnt hot for my fan config?
Thx

Look at my signature for the level of detail people want to see in order to help you. Make up a similar signature and that way the info will always be displayed.
I am running a similar configuration to you and I found when I went to AMI 3.3 my temperatures as reported by speedfan and corecenter dropped 10C. I am suspicious of these numbers because my case heat sensors of it's own and it reports higher. If you use corecenter it seems to report about 3-4C higher than speedfan.
I guess as long as you are not overheating, the values reported can be viewed as a cohesive set and you can monitor and set fan speeds based upon changes.Thats what I do.
My case has a lot of fans (7) and as a result maybe our numbers don't quite compare, but what I see is about like this:
Idle: 19-40C depending upon room temperature and how long the system has been running.
loaded: 48-55C and the fans start cranking when this happens.
My case (system?) temperature never is as hot as the CPU.
Finally...let me restate...I distrust the numbers ever since I went to AMI 3.3, but even before then I never saw the CPU go over 65C and I wrote Intel support and they told me that prescott temperatures were within spec as long as it was under 69C.
I don't think this answered your question, but maybe this will help.

Once and for all: MS-7125 Neo4 Platinum NB temperature sensing

Hi guys,
I'm trying to shut my MS-7125 Neo4 Platinum NB fan up. My XFX 6800GT vid card prevents me from using the blue Zalman passive cooler, unless I bend or remove its fans, which I haven't gotten around to. So I'm looking for alternatives, one of which is simply undervolting the stock fan, after cleaning the interface between chip and heatsink and applying Arctic Silver 5.
Of course, to make that workable, I need a reliable temperature reading for the Northbridge chip. Many posters have suggested that "Fan1" in Speedfan is the NB on the MS-7125. However, I saw one thread (will edit and link it later) that suggested that that reading is actually for the Winbond chip closer to the corner of the board, not the actual NB. If that's the case, then I don't really know what temp the NB is at, and I don't feel safe undervolting its fan.
So which is it? Once and for all!
Thanks in advance!
best,
Ryan

g2006, Be careful when interpreting statement given to you by tecnicians.
I know: I had to post a screen cap to convince him that CoreCenter didn't have a NB fan speed control slider. In fact, like many newbies, he thought the nb fan alarm slider was the nb fan speed controller. It's after pointing these stuff that I got the info that there wasn't a temp sensor on the nf4 chip. I kept asking and correcting his misconception until, I assume, when he saw that he didn't know about this particular board, and might have asked the right questions to the source. The later answers were more informed, less conceited; might have been a different person altogether. But of course I might have misassumed (is that a word )
But as you said, they still recommended to RMA...

try this. 1- Unplug your MSI Fan and see what happens to your SYS/NB temp, your should see a 2-3 deg C increase at idle and aa 6-8 deg C at load.
When I get a way to physically control the speed (rheostat), I'll take time to do lower the speed to see how it affects the speedfan temp for the "sys" monitor.
I'll try to check also were this "system" temp sensor is supposed to be placed, according to some here and there on some forums, and test briefly with a hair blower or something more accurate to check those allegations.
What made me dismiss altogether the "system temp" as being the nf4 temp sensor is some people on boards (here and elsewhere), using the zalman nb47j, reporting that it was getting quite hot to the touch, but with speedfan reporting the sys temp as low (35-40c) nonetheless; but of course this is relying on others, I should test this somehow myself...

2- Install speedfan on your computer and use its manual fan speed control features to slow or shut down the fan that registers around 5200 - 5400 rpm.
I do use speedfan. The 7125 nf4 fan registers around 7300rpm ( ) on speedfan and corecenter.
Both speedfan and corecenter can monitor and modify cpu fan speed.
In fact, in the Manual itself, p. 2-16 (about the connectors) it says explicitely that the CPUFAN1 supports fan control; it doesn't mention this capacity for the other connectors, which is a good indicator that only CPUFAN1 has it.
NF4 fan is connected to NBFAN1 connector; I have another fan connected to SFAN1 connector, which also has a speed sensor according to the manual; but again, no impact on fan speed using speedfan... and none promised, if one reads the manual: only the CPU fan is actually said to be speed controllable.

Do you have Cool & Quiet activated?
CnQ is CPU centered, at least reading from the manual. I don't know about the Neo2 that you have, maybe you have more options on this, but the manual for 7125 is explicit on this (p. 3-26, for those who have the manual).
I also would like others' views/experiences on this.

Using NB fan connector for case fan?

Seeing as the only fan supplies that support fan control are the CPU and NB, if I'm using a Zalman cooler instead of a NB fan to cool the chipset, is it possible to utilise the spare NB fan connector for one of the case fans?
Or is that a silly idea because the speed of the fan will be dictated by the temperature of the NB chipset which may or may not enable sufficient case cooling?
Has anyone tried this?

In actual fact I have 7 x 80mm Cooler Master Fans in my system. 2 in the back, 2 in the front, 2 on the CPU (Hyper6) and 1 on the clear side door. All fans are the CoolerMaster Blue LED type and spin no faster than 2600RPMs. I never slow down the CPU fans ..... system is always on and always doing something stressfull but using Speedfan or CoreCenter I can slow both fans on the CPU down to 20%.
4 of the fans are powered through the mainboard (through PSU) and the other 3 using the PSU molex power connectors (not the FAN_ONLY connectors .... not enough juice ).

PT880 + P4 3.2 Temps

I have read many posts here since purchasing my board and processor and it has been extremely helpful. Thanks.
I also purchased a new case when I figured out my old case could not handle the cooling requirements. I happen to buy a Spiderman case, not because it looks nice but it had a side duct like the "Thermally Advantaged" case. I think I have things working pretty well but would like some advice.
First my idle temp CPU is ~43c and System is ~33c read from Speedfan and CoreCenter. They are very close including the voltage readings so what ever problem there was in earlier versions of CoreCentre seem to be fixed. My BIOS however shows lots of jumping back and forth on CPU temp from ~40c to ~50c constantly. I believe SpeedFan is smoothing out the jumps but not sure.
On my case you can see my setup in my SIG but one thing is that the side fan is an exhaust not an intake. After looking at the Intel suggestions it seems they are reccomending the side be an unforced aire intake although I would take forced might be better but testing would determine if there is a wind shadow or some other problem.
So my questions are:
1. Which temp should I be looking at SpeedFan or BIOS
2. With the temp I am seeing Idle should I reverse my fan and have it blow on the CPU and memory instead of exhaust.
I do not have good readings for CPU under load from SpeedFan but I notice it at around ~52c after some video work. I just need to track it better.
Any advice would be welcome.

I have been busy tweaking and thinking and I have managed to make some improvements in the CPU temp.
First I reseated my heat sink and used Artic Silver 5 instead of Artic Alumnia this made no difference at all, except my wallet is lighter. I am hoping their claims are true and I will get a 2c - 5c improvement after 200 hours. I have 193 hours to go. All kidding aside it looks like a great product but their Alumnia product is pretty darn good as well.
Second rearanged my drives so they get the full benefit of the new front intake fan. This helped all the drives by a 1c - 2c and the CPU went down a little (maybe 1c ).
Lastly I noticed that the side fan I had was not working very well. Turns out it is a piece of junk with no specs for CFM on it. I am guessing it was running ~20CFM at about 0.14A. I dug around in my fan bag (I have about 10 assorted models from scrapped equipment) and found an 80mm that is spec'd at ~40 CFM 0.29A. I reversed it so it is blowing on the processor.
Next fired up my rendering project that I have been testing with and here are the results:
CPU = 56c - 58c average after 2 hours of heavy rendering. Spikes up and down but pretty stable. This is an ~8c improvement!!
System = 36c this is an 3c increase.
Drives are all the same but maybe ~2c higher.
So what I see is great improvement on the CPU but the airflow from the side is disrupting the front to back. Not sure if I need to tweak the front to back more or if ~36c is OK. The noise is terrible because I used an old Server fan from back before we cared about dB levels. I am going to look for a speed control to lower the fan speed when I am editing and not rendering. When I render I have to leave the computer alone for a couple of hours any way.
Comments or more suggestions welcome.
Thanks for the help so far.

Fan controller

Why does´t my fan speed depend on the temperature?? 2800rpm @ 40C and 2800rpm @ 70C
I´ve got a 915gm-fr with P4 530 cpu and a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 fan (4pin)

According to the manual the CPU_FAN2 connector is to be used for the cpu fan. You then need to run a utility like CoreCenter to control the fan speed.
I prefer SpeedFan to CoreCenter, but you will have to find out how to configure it on your own. The link in my signature could get you started.

Since BIOS V3.3 Speedfan (V 4.20) is not able to reduce the rpm of the CPU-Fan (of course connected to CFAN1). Before flashing BIOS 3.2, it worked well (CPU < 40°C = Fan spins with 60%). After flashing BIOS 3.3 (because it resolves the problem with USB legacy and WindowsXP), Speedfan (and Corecenter) do not reduce die fan power. If i stay a while in the BIOS, i can hear, how the fan runs lower and lower. But under windows the fan runs on full power.
I have this problem too.
I don't have ability to change speed fan for CPU, and then I have 60 degrees on full load.
When I setup in CoreCenter utility to user mode and fan to high speed, as if by miracle on cpu fan speed change from 1600 to 2400,
but now it's on 1600 again and setup in core center dont't make any change on speed fan.
Is it OK in bios 3.2 ? with setup speed on cpu ?

MSI K8N Neo4

Hi guys,
Ever since I've had this PC (which is about 6-8 months, tis custom built) I've noticed mysterious bleeping noises coming from the PC speaker (note: not the desktop speaker) and a rather strange and random speeding up/slowing down of a fan inside the computer. The bleeping seems to occur during the time the fan has changed speed. This only ever happens when playing certain games.
Very strange indeed, but I've never had any problems, I just brushed it off as strange.
But yesterday, the fan sped up as usual but the bleeping remained constant (and also very annoying) and wouldn't stop until I exited to desktop. Now before it was just one or two bleeps and nothing of concern but now I'm worried that there is actually something wrong with my computer that I haven't been picking up on and now it's gotten to be a big problem.
I was told that maybe this is because I have the threshold too low in the bios, and that its nothing to worry about, so I disable the beeps in the device manager and go about my business.
All is fine until about 30 mins ago, I fire up 2142 demo, and about 5 mins in, some MORE beeps happen (they were in a different tone)! Now I know something has to be wrong if it's making more beeps, but meh, as I've said, I'm not a techy person...
This is either a very simple problem or a very tough one. I'm too scared to play a 3D game now in case I fry my PC to bits or something. Please help me out guys!
:edit: The beeps I got were short continuous beeps and NOT the siren 2 tone noises i've been reading about around the internet. In a google search, this would indicate I have a power supply problem but I swear I have the right one? Gah. Anyway... this is the PSU I have... Tell me if it is correct.

Did you do all the set up of the system yourself? Are you running SpeedFan or CoreCenter? Monitoring programs can be set to make beeps based on certain events: typically one might set SpeedFan, in the "Events" configuration, to beep every 5 seconds if the temperature of an Athlon64 exceeds 60C or so for 2 or 3 monitoring "ticks". The fact that you have a fan speeding up while this happens sounds like this is a likely explanation. Check your temperatures, particularly CPU, and see if they are indeed excessive - if not, change the monitoring threshold settings. If you don't have a way to do that with your current setup, dump the monitoring program you're using, e.g. CoreCenter, and get SpeedFan.
If you're using Dynamic Overclocking, don't - it doesn't work. In particular, make sure you do not have nTune installed and that it's turned off in BIOS and CoreCenter if you have that installed.

Weird CPU temperature problem

Hi everyone.
The first time I run my system in the morning, I'm having high CPU temp readings by Core Center: 71 C, at around 40% CPU usage, running Norton Antivirus '05, and 67 at iddle. In the same conditions, Motherboard Monitor 5 reads: 67 C for N. Antivirus and 63 C at iddle.
So, I restart computer and check BIOS's PCHealth Status. It reads 46 C for CPU temp.
Then I get back to Windows XP (SP2), Core Center reads CPU temp while running N. Antivirus as 53 C, and MBM reads 50 C at 40%-80% CPU usage. At iddle, Core Center reads 49 C, and MBM5 reads 45 C.
Environment temp is about 30 C.
What do you guys think is happening? Do I need to worry about it or not?
Thanks in advance for your input.
My System:
Windows XP PRO (SP2)
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum BIOS 1.30
Athlon64 3800+ no OC

I was having the same problem as described by the forum user. Despite my laziness, I even unhooked my CPU fan clean the fan and the CPU and put it back together with Arctic silver. This helped the idle temperature at START up from 50 degree C down to 43 degree C reading from Core Center. However, eventually the CPU temp will creep back up to 47 to 50 degrees C.
My breakthrough came when I read one of the thread which said to uninstalled Core Center, once I done that, my CPU temperature at Cold Start and Warm Start seemed to be consistent at around 36 to 40 degree C (I used SpeedFan 4.18 to verify my temp readings I even crossed check the temp reading with SisSandra 2005 and the two readings are consistent).
I then installed CoreCEnter 1.7.1.0 back and during cold start the temperature will creep back up and keep on increasing. Once I do a warm start everything is back to normal again. So after cold start I open both SpeedFan and CoreCenter side by side and I notice the following:
During cold start, CoreCenter never starts the CPU fan at max RPM, it starts around 2200 RPM or so. Then it would start loading the CPU varying from 1 to 4 to 100% (this happens intermittently so you won't see it if you are not staring at the screen), which would increase the CPU temperature (this is observed in the SpeedFan monitoring screen). Then it would lower the CPU fan back to 1850 RPM or so and does not increase the fan speed even when temperature goes back up. The problem does not seem to exist when one does a warm start then CoreCenter lets the fan stays at maximum speed and the temperature is stable.
I noticed when I downloaded the new CoreCenter version 1.7.1.0 software from the MSI web site, it said "fixing fan speed never reach maximum problem", so I believe this is a CoreCenter software bug. BTW, I just went back to the MSI tech support web site; it no longer showed this message. I have a feeling that they removed the message from potential liability with high temperature issue that might have led to many MB returns. (I know this is sounding awfully like a conspiracy theory)
This is my conclusion:
(1) CPU temp reading from core center is accurate minus about 3 to 4 degree C cross checked again other utilities. (If you system reaches 60 to 70, I should still be alarmed, do not just let the system idle, because it could be an actual reading minus 3 to 4 degrees).
(2) CoreCenter never let the fan reaches maximum speed during cold start and will load the system gradually therefore increase CPU temperature even more.
(3) After warm start, Core Center goes to normal and let the CPU fan goes back to maximum speed.
I know this is not a very scientific observation, nevertheless it is reproducible on my system. Please note that I have a Neo Pla set up not Neo Pla 2 therefore results might be different if you have a Neo Pla2 set up. I really doubt that would be the case since CoreCenter only has one version for both motherboards.
Please give this a try and see what you find, I am curiously to see what other gets. If we can all produce the same issue, perhaps MSI will come out with an updated version of CoreCenter again.

955x USB Header Problem

I am currently having an issue with the JUSB 1 and 2 headers on my MSI 955x. I just installed this board this week
in my new rig. I have hooked up the plugs to the headers, 1 going to the back on the MSI supplied insert with the jleds and the other to the front usb ports on the box. Both connectors are premolded so as not to be hooked up wrong with the key pin in the molded plug. I went ahead and double checked the pinouts just to be sure that everything was correct. Now to the problem, everytime I hook up anything usb 2.0 to any of the ports hooked up to the headers the machine freezes up. Now if i hook up something usb 1.1 to it the device will connect and work (was using a usb 1.1 pin drive). I have tried powered and no powered hard drives as well as some usb 2.0 pin drives that I have. I checked the bios and made sure that the ports were enabled and that the keyboard and mouse stuff were enabled (also tried disabled). I am now at a point where I am running out of ideas. Any help or suggestions are most appreciated. All the devices will work on the usb ports built onto the board (not using the headers).

Update:
Finally seemed to get it running!!! The link DougAnderson posted was the key. Thanks for the help. Just a side note for Maesus, I was having the problem on both the supplied MSI bracket with the jled/usb combo as well as on the front panel. I think however that it was happening on both due to the fact that both were plugged in at the same time and the front panel had that extra ground USBOC cable connected. As soon as I got that extra pin out of the premolded connector both started working.
Now it seems I am having a heat issue or PSU problem. I can't win LOL!!! Boots up and runs and then start gaming or sometimes just leaving it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes and bam it reboots. Temps on the system seem to be hanging around 55 and the temp on the cpu is anywhere from 55 to 65 that I have noticed. Tried running speedfan and corecenter (at different times of course) to get more accurate readings but both are giving about the same. I have 2 case fans in the system but I am using the supplied cpu fan (case is an Antec Super Lanboy). Also have noticed that my PSU is not showing anything under the sysfan settings with the PSU plug plugged in. Wondering if my PSU is messed up to. Voltages look ok but I think it is suppose to rev the fans on it up if the system is getting hot. Oh well back to the drawing board. All part of the fun with building a new rig.
Any new thoughts appreciated.

K8N Neo2 Plat - Fans / Temperature

Hi,
I just got and installed my K8N Neos2 Platinum. I am thoroughly confused by what I should expect from from the fans and temperatures...
In terms of Temperature, the BIOS correctly reports temperatures for the CPU and Northbridge. Core shows CPU temperature, but says the NB temperature is not available. I think for this reason, the NBFAN1, Northbridge fan is always spinning at maximum. SpeedFan reports reasonable numbers for the temperatures, so I am guessing the sensors are working, and the Core software just isn't working.
In terms of Fans, I see that there are 4 connectors. One is for the CPU CPUFAN1, one is for the Northbridge (nForce) SBFAN1, and the other two are for system fans SFAN1 and SFAN2. What sort of control should I expect here? I can't tell if my board is fully functional or not. In BIOS, I can set a CPU Fan target which I guess spins ups the fan if the CPU gets too hot. I have no direct controls in BIOS for the fans, and I don't see Northbridge fan controls anywhere in BIOS.
I installed SpeedFan to see if I could narrow this stuff down. With SpeedFan, I can spin down the Northbridge fan, NBFAN1, which seems to happen at 80%, and if I go under 80%, I get crazy readings like 16,000 RPM, and the fan seems to just spin slow but not stop. However, I cannot spin the CPU fan up or down at all, I have no control. Also, if I plug my case fan into SFAN1, it doesn't show up in SpeedFan, and it runs at full speed. If I plug the case fan into SFAN2, it does show up in SpeedFan, and runs at 1200 RPM, but again I have no control whatsoever over it's speed.
So, what should I expect? Should I be able to control anything? Or is it pretty much just chance? I'd like to be able to control the fan speeds in BIOS or with software, but it looks like I have no real control over anything. That doesn't seem correct...
Thanks,
B

Just recently built up my first system, so I have been struggling with the fan issues too (they work, but I really want to know WHY and HOW they work).
The K8N Neo2 Platinum manual shows the SFAN1 and SFAN2 connector diagrams as having NC (no connection) on the speed sense lines for both system (case) fans. The CPUFAN1 and "Northbridge" NBFAN1 (used for the Nvidia Nforce3 chip's cooler) both are monitored and reported in SpeedFan or CoreCenter. As was posted, the ability of the Windows-based tools to control the fans is dependent on having the BIOS H/W Monitor CPU Fan Target set to "Disabled".
SFAN2 is used for my case exhaust fan, and it does seem to be running at less than full tilt, so maybe something is adjusting the voltage even if the speed cannot be monitored. Sure would be nice to have an MSI engineer weigh in on this (or for MSI to provide better documentation since these are enthusiast boards).
Just to complete the picture, I run my case intake fan at full voltage off a 4-pin Molex to keep the case slightly pressurized to help keep dust out (intake fan has a filter).
Anyone out there with concrete technical data on the SFAN1/2 logic or code?

K8N Neo2 wierd boot / AMD driver ?

I just put this rig together and am still fiddling with things. After playing with Corecenter and Speedfan and CnQ, and having Corecenter alarm continuously after installing Speedfan, uninstalling Corecenter, wondering if CnQ was working, etc., I ended up installing the AMD driver 1.2.2.2. Things worked okay but when I reinstalled Corecenter it still alarmed continuously (I never could tell why or how to silence the alarm other than closing Corecenter). I decided to uninstall the AMD driver to try to get back to my original configuration. During the reboot after the uninstall the system acted a little funny. Once in the Windows boot the screen went black and then back to the boot screen three times, and then went black and then back on while in the Windows screen before finally settling down. CnQ would not work after this so I re-installed the AMD 1.2.2.2 driver. Everything now works, but the weird boot up still happens with the screen going black several times in the process. Also, when I go to Advanced settings in the Display Properties/Settings the computer seems to hang for several seconds, then the screen goes blank, comes back on and then displays the advanced screens.
BTW, my goal is to have a QUIET computer that will still perform okay for the games my kids play on this machine.
I have a couple of questions related to all this.
1) Is the weird boot up and blank screen when going to the Advanced Display Settings related?
2) Can I uninstall the AMD driver and go back to the Windows driver (that did allow CnQ in the first place)?
3) Finally, I would prefer to ditch Corecenter and use Speedfan. During all this at some point Speedfan displayed info on my video board (voltages, temps) but does not show these now. Is there a secret to getting Speedfan to report the video info?
Thanks for any help or insight you can give. I have spent hours looking over the forums and have learned much!

Well, I think I've sorted most of this out now. The weird boot up (blank screens) seems to have cured itself so I will leave well enough alone. I'm still tinkering with Speedfan, and after perusing a bunch more threads on that, I think I am reporting the graphics card temps.

Fans do not react to rpm change in corecenter or speedfan - KT6

Hello,
when i change the speed of fans in CoreCenter or SpeedFan, the rpm does not change.
The cpu fan is the fan that comes with AMD BOXed cpu, and the system fan is a TITAM 2500rpm.
What's wrong???

windows 2000
2500+ barton

I have the same setup except I'm using XP. I too have the same problem with CoreCenter none of the changes work.

Shutting down NB and CPU fans altogether with speedfan for p2p download overnight

Hi,
Lately I started to keep my computer on overnight for p2p downloads. Problem is, my setup is too loud, thanks to the NB fan esp. I have my computer in the same room as my bed so the smallest DB difference makes an impact on my overall sleep quality
P2P is not a cpu challenge, so right now I am trying this:
Have speedfan turn off both NB and CPU fan when CPU is below 45C.
CPU temp controls both NB and CPU fan as NB readings come from a Hawai beach.
My room is really hot, my system temp is around 40C.
It is also possible to underclock my p4 2.4 down to 1.6ghz with Clockgen.
When Speedfan turns off NBfan, the lights go off to so I am not disturbed in my sleep by the lights
Now:
Is speedfan's cpu readings dependable?? (It certainly reads different than CoreCenter)
Is stopping the NB fan bad?? Many people even remove it, but stopping it maybe worse than throwing it away in terms of airflow?
Anyhow would my NB warmup at all if you think it handles 200mhz fsb and my FSB will be only 133, so isn't my NB underclocked already, so it wouldn't warm up as much?
Should I underclock my P4 to 1.6ghz so it would keep it and the NB cool even more?
Is this a really bad idea?

Lately I started to keep my computer on overnight for p2p downloads. Problem is, my setup is too loud, thanks to the NB fan esp. I have my computer in the same room as my bed so the smallest DB difference makes an impact on my overall sleep quality
P2P is not a cpu challenge, so right now I am trying this:
Have speedfan turn off both NB and CPU fan when CPU is below 45C.
CPU temp controls both NB and CPU fan as NB readings come from a Hawai beach.
My room is really hot, my system temp is around 40C.
It is also possible to underclock my p4 2.4 down to 1.6ghz with Clockgen.
When Speedfan turns off NBfan, the lights go off to so I am not disturbed in my sleep by the lights
