Here is one of many threads talking about ThreadMaster and Motherboard Monitor: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=2200

Search and Google can find much more information on these topics. A computer should be able to run all the time, but manufacturing and design errors sometimes occur. You can check the temperature of your CPU using the thermocouple built into the motherboard. If it is high, then you can use ThreadMaster until your computer is fixed.

This is just the way I view this matter. Other people have other opinions. There is a lot more that can and has been said. More helpfully, if you tell us the temperature of your CPU chip under full load and what CPU you have, we will tell you whether or not you have a problem.

Newbie,

do use use speedfan a lot? Do you have any experience using it on a Toshiba laptop? I cannot get SpeedFan to see the fans in my laptop even though I have enable all options for speedfan to search for devices. I donot want to control the fan, I am just interested in seeing how it reacts to the changes of processor, radiator and incase temperatures.
