    Hi,

    I think I am having an overheating problem with my X205. It tends to "freeze" for several seconds when I am playing Call of Duty. It did not do this before. It also appears to not be blowing much air out of the fan outlet on the right hand side, which is the GPU heatsink outlet. I think my fan is not running.

    I have SpeedFan installed, and it is showing that the GPU is running at 75 deg Celcius when I am gaming, and almost immediately drops to 55 de Celcius as soon as I close the gaming program.

    Does nayone know where I can download any monitor software that will measure and/or log my fan speeds for CPU and GPU? I have looked in my X205's BIOS, and I can not see any references to the fan speeds.

    Does anyone have any prior experiences with this one?

    Cheers,

    Rob
