I bought this desktop 4-core machine during the coolest part |
| 2 |
of the year and until very recently I could barely hear the |
| 3 |
CPU fan except for about one second during power-up when |
| 4 |
the fan spins way up and then quickly slows down. |

Now it's hotter than Hades here and I'm very much aware of |
| 7 |
the fan noise, but I can't tell if the fan is beginning |
| 8 |
to fail (the noise sounds a bit harsh to me) or something |
| 9 |
is merely controlling the speed appropriately. |

The machines BIOS has no settings whatever concerning the |
| 12 |
fan or temperature warnings, etc. so I have no idea how |
| 13 |
to find out the CPU temp. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The k10temp kernel module loads automatically at boot with |
| 16 |
no errors, so I just hope something (somewhere) is taking |
| 17 |
care of this stuff automatically. But I'm only hoping, |
| 18 |
not knowing. |

Any ideas how to find out for sure? |
