Thanks, wasn't sure if they were BIOS features or not 8-[ I'll take note of that and maybe grab a quad core next week, after I convince myself that it's worth it :lol:

Wrong temp reading from Celeron 430? (Conroe-L)

I just put together a low-power PC for my sister and her husband using the Celeron 430 OC'd to 2.8GHz with the stock cooler and stock voltage. I installed it in a Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L motherboard. The case has two fans blowing air over the CPU. The strange thing is that Speedfan and HWMonitor repor...
