| 199479 | 2003-12-12 13:10:00 | I agree that Aida32 is good, but for a program that displays temp on your taskbar, I have used CPU Cool for years. Also is supposed to help cool your CPU temp. | *Sparky* (311) | ||

AFAIK under *nix they're enabled by default, under NT/2k/xp you have to enable them manually. What they do is basically force the CPU to take a break and put it's feet up. At best you can get a temperature decrease of 10-15c while idle, you'll get little to no difference if you are like me and have your CPU fully loaded 24/7 |

| 199483 | 2003-12-13 00:00:00 | just to add win9x/me dosn't have cpu idle at all so a cooling program can make a bit of a difference. as whetu said its ussually 10 degrees or so and only at idle. there is all another idle loop or pci disconnect which can force it to run cooler but it also means some performance drop. | tweak'e (174) | ||
