| 443171 | 2006-04-02 19:21:00 | I just want to make sure that the temperatures are ok. I feel like I smell something heating up, but not sure if its my computer or something else in my room. I don't think it's the GPU, since I haven't been playing any games for the past couple of days. Thanks guys. |

Depending upon your BIOS layout, there should be a section on hardware health which will give the CPU temperature. It may not be that accurate (+/- 5 degs) but will give you a general idea. Make sure you exit out of the BIOS without saving any changes. If you can actually smell something hot, it may be wiring. Take a sniff at your power supply unit and see if that is the source of the smell. Monitors can also be a source of burning smells. |
