Speed Fan Temps HELP !!!! SOS !?

I have installed 'Speenfan' (version 4.33) and my temps are:



Temp1: 62*c

Temp2: 34*c

Temp3: 25*c



How can i change the 'Temp' Numbers To Things Like 'CPU Temp' %26quot;Graphics Card Temp' and 'Hardrive Temp' ?



Does anyone know how ?



If not, does anyone know which temp1, temp2, and temp3 stand for ?



Cheers!Speed Fan Temps HELP !!!! SOS !?
Basically the temp 1, 2, %26amp; 3 are in the program as listed below and you are unable to change their names. I was unable to find where each one led to but I did find some information on how you can do that (last paragraph). if you wanted to do more research go to the speedfan home page and check out the support(http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php )



First of all, you have to identify which temperature sensor is which. SpeedFan strictly adheres to available datasheets for each sensor chip. Please remember that hardware monitors are chips that do have some pins (small connectors) which should be connected to some additional hardware (temperature probes, thermistors or thermocouples) in order to be able to read temperatures. Only a few hardware monitor chips do label their connectors with %26quot;CPU%26quot;, %26quot;System%26quot; and the like. Most of them use labels like %26quot;Temp1%26quot;, %26quot;Local%26quot; or %26quot;Remote%26quot;. The hardware manufacturers connect available pins to different temperature sensors basically according to the physical placement of components on the motherboard. This means that the same chip, an ITE IT8712F, for example, might be connected to a sensor diode measuring CPU temperature on Temp2 and, on a different hardware, it might be connected on Temp1. If you have a %26quot;Local%26quot; sensor and a %26quot;Remote%26quot; labeled one, this usually means that %26quot;Local%26quot; is the temperature of the monitor chip itself and %26quot;Remote%26quot; is the temperature read from a %26quot;remote%26quot; probe.

When you have properly identified which temperature sensor is which, try to lower the speed of each fan and look at reported speed and temperatures. If you do not allow SpeedFan to change any fan speed and set all the speeds too low, then SpeedFan won't be able to avoid overheating.



How can I identify my CPU temperature?

To find your CPU's temperature sensor you can leave your system idle for a few minutes, to let temperatures drop, and then go to 100% usage for a while. The temperature that rises faster is the one you're searching for. Other available temperature readings usually come from your sensor chip itself, from the southbridge, the voltage regulator, or even from an additional probe placed under the processor. This additional temperature sensor is not necessarily a duplicate. Some CPUs are not actually able to report the internal temperature from their die. To be able to read their temperatures, an additional external sensor (thermocouple) is used. In such cases, you will see two temperatures referring to the processor. The higher of the two is from the die. As a final note, please remember that not all available temperature sensors are actually connected to something. If you happen to read unusually high or low temps, they are likely to be from a disconnected (unused) temperature sensor
