Depends on the computer. Modern PCs have built-in temperature sensors at lots of places in the system, but either the CPU or the disk drive at the main ones. Newer processors run cooler than old ones. The Intel Pentium 4 was notoriously very hot-running, sometimes referred to as a fan-heater or space-heater, and this is one reason it was discontinued and replaced with the Core 2 line, and those in turn with Core i3/i5/i7. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [email protected] • GMail/Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven Skype/MSN: [email protected] • LinkedIn/AIM/Yahoo: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR) -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
