    Abit IP35-Pro + Core 2 Quad Q9450 + Handbrake = HOT!

    I did some sleuth work and found that my CPU fan was ~600RPM. Which seems low to me. I rebooted and set my CPU speed to factory (it was OC'd about 5%) and now the fan is 1500RPM and CPU about 37C. Much better. I have a Sycthe Katana HSF. Odd, any idea why the fan would get so slow?

    Where did you find that temp guide? Is it normal for a CPU to jump 25 degrees when encoding? Thanks a lot

    Abit IP35-Pro + Core 2 Quad Q9450 + Handbrake = HOT!

    I have a Abit IP35-Pro + Core 2 Quad Q9450 (2.6ghz) and when I encode some file using Handbrake my Abit uGuru reports my CPU is 75-76 Celsius. Is that too high? What are the same ranges for this CPU. My normal idle CPU temp is ~ 40-45. Thanks

    No, the space above the 18GB is shown as used. So I cannot access 42GB of space... Any ideas

    Missing Folder in Win XP Pro?

    Hmm, not really sure. I have not went to that folder for months. One other weird thing, that drive is 60GB and it is full, but the folders that I can see only add up to 18GB so I think that folder is there it just cannot be seen..

When I booted up the PC for the first few times I was getting a continuous beeping which I attribute to the "temp warning" in the bios. I checked and I was getting crazy temps first it was 110...
