New system information application

[Ray]

I've just discovered this useful little free application from the publishers of Ccleaner for getting information about all your installed hardware etc. Speccy

[Glenn]

Looks useful Ray.

[rgt247]

Very detailed Information ! 

[Rik]

Thanks, Ray.

[Baz]

have you tried it yet.I have tuneup utilities 2007 and that has a section which has some detailed info too

[Rik]

Not yet, Baz, I had to go and do my afternoon penance.

[Baz]

oo oh!!!!   what you been up to then

[Rik]

Nothing new, Baz, I just have to go and sweat on the exercise bike twice a day. Boring. 

[Baz]

you not got it in front of the big tv like you see in all the gyms

[Rik]

No, it's in the spare bedroom, Baz. I don't watch anything, I just listen to pipe bands, they make me pedal faster. 

[Ray]

Is that so you'll get out of the room quicker, Rik,

Not in my case, Ray, but it works on the neighbours.

My world is already virtual, Glenn.

A nice little download. Thanks!

I bet it Does!

[Rik]

 

It's either that or blues. I find it hard to push myself whilst listening to a requiem.

Oh. I know of everything in my pc. As I put it there! 
I'm also quite obsessive in checking everything before I buy it. After myself (and the family mainly) buying things that are no good, due to lack of research, I've learnt my lesson.
Helpful program non the less though.

I just replaced the stock cooling fan on my i7 cpu with a Zalman CNPS 10X Performa, it's dropped the temps by 25C.

SIW as posted by Noreen gives very detailed information about your PC.

[Steve]

That's quite a drop must have been very warm before.

[Glenn]

It was running at 59c on idle & 84c on max, now 32c & 52c

[Rik]

Till the heat wave comes.

[Glenn]

It's in a former conservatory too.

[Rik]

It's now a safe Labour seat, is it?

[Glenn]

It's a "It's our money, not yours" seat.

I understand the i7 runs pretty hot anyway when compared to the C2D and the chap who looks after Realtemp has suggested the stock cooler is not adequate.

[Glenn]

I was using Realtemp last night, seems like a useful little program.

[Technical Ben]

My old AMD athalon use to run in the 80s to 90s. Very hot. Not sure what mine is now... (checks) ... System says 43 not under load.
This pc's Phenom 2 is about 6 months old. When it's approaching a year, I may upgrade the fans, and try overclocking, to lengthen it's lifespan. In power output at least. It will shorten it's length of life though! :O

The other one I've used is Coretemps

[pctech]

for monitoring of fan speeds and temps I use Speedfan

Does also allow you to vary the fan speed.
