Hi Guys

Thanks for the feedback and tips –much appreciated. As part of just growing confident with tinkering with my PC, I decided to replace the graphics fan as I had the case open for changing the CPU fan, and just wanted to dabble!

The case is a Thermaltake Armor and has the following fans:

Front: 102mm (intake?)
Rear: 120mm (blow?)
Rear: 80mm in PSU
Rear: 80mm for (unused) 3 drive caddy
Top: 80mm

I downloaded the Gigabyte “EasyTune5” utility for my motherboard after the system shut down automatically last time. This “appears” to display the same information as the BIOS, but through the Windows GUI once the PC has booted.

One thing that really puzzles me, is that the BIOS always reports the CPU temp as being at least 10 Deg C greater than the ET5 Windows utility? Surely they cannot be using different sensors?

Cheers

Dennis
