    Dear Folks,

    Is there a CPU temp and fan speed data logger program? Additionally, what is the best program for L702X to control fan speeds - the fan coming on when CPU is 55C is annoying.

    Regards

    ANDREW

    You can use HWmonitor to check the temperatures.

    It's a good thing your fan comes on at 55C. Means it's working and protecting the components from overheating.

    I use RealTemp and GPU-Z to do all my CPU/GPU watching goodness. But if you put them on make sure to put Furmark and prime95 on and push your machine to it's limits. God I love the sound of the fans running WAO. And the heat, OMG the heat these suckers can put out is awesome. Sorry I get cold chills running the crap outta machines. :D
