    How come I can only get 2 temp. readings w/ speedfan? Is this normal for my model?

    I downloaded speedfan twice already cause I thought something was wrong with the first download due to the fact that I was only getting temp readings for each of my two cpu's. Is this normal for my model and features. I have read where other pc's have many temp. readings. Also everytime that I have speedfan program on my computer it seems like it gets hotter. Thanks

    I see you have Vista. Are you running speedfan as an administrator? Right-click the speedfan icon, bring up properties > compatibility and see if the "run as administrator" box is checked.

    Previous versions used to run as administrator automatically, but 4.33 does not. When I started running it as an administrator, I went from getting only two temps to four (both cores, HD and motherboard -- I assume).
