1.	Solve : Where does the temp reading come from on a CPU??
Answer» Just a quick question about temps If you have READ my last post this may make more sence Just wondering where the temperature is taken from, inside the CPU or fr4om the underside of the fan? because if i turn my computer on the side and place the HS+Fan on top of the CPU it RUNS fine at much lower temps than before...like 39 degrees under load :S this is not normal RIGHT? especially for a SKT478 Celeron :S If its from the fan I THINK my CPU might as well be toasting right this very second KurtisIm pretty sure thats fine.OK thanks a bunch!!
