This may be off topic from vista but I was just wandering. What temps should I look at? Rite now core0 is at 53C and core1 is at 55C. My office has no cooling or insulation so it can get hot in here. The other day the temps hit 62C and my fans fired up for the first time in the 2 years sence I got the computer. It worried me because all of the sudden there was all this noise like a jet under my desk. When I investigated I noticed the fans went from about 1500rpm to 4500rpm. As soon as I dropped below 60C they went right back to 1500rpm. I have been told I dont want to go above 60C is that true? I have the PS fan, stock case fan in the front and a CPU fan. I added a fan to me 2nd HD as well as one of those blue led fans that hook to one of the card slots. I think though the led fan is sucking air in from the slot and blowing it down on the CPU and I am pretty sure I was told all the air should come in from the front and exit the back so basicaly I am sucking hot air from the PS right in on the CPU. Hmmmm any suggestions? Should I remove the 2 fans I put in there and just let it run with the fans that came with the system?

I'm impressed! Well done on the cleaning regime.
As for the temps... They are not too bad at that 55ish but is that at idle? Obviously when your system is at full load then thats when you need to know your temps. If they are climbing well above 60c then it may be causing the lock-ups. You could always invest in a quality cooler as I suspect your using the default one that comes with the chip..
Below is a link to a popular Intel cooler (I presume your using Intel chips) although there are many others..

Usually if speedfan can see a fan then it can normally alter it. Have you gone through the 'how to'? As when I open the config in speedfan unless I click on a actual fan then nothing appears below is just blank like yours...

Checkout my screenies. One piccie of before and then one after I highlight the fan (you'll notice I've changed the names to suit what they are).

I am thinking my mother board or something "Asus f8000" dose not support this function. I have no fan control enable or disable in the bios or anywhere I can find. I down graded my speed fan from 4.38 to 4.37 and now it detects my HD's but still no fan speed options. I read that guid and there is no PWM mode in the advanced section. When I select the chip all there are is the Asus f8000 and the 2 HD's. No matter which one I select there is no PWM options. I think the next step is to just cut the wires on the fans and wire them into an extrat plug from the power supply although I really hate to do this. but what other option do I have? Here is a SS of what I see now.

I merged your posts as it had double posted..

As for the temps.. I suppose the server is cooler because it isn't working as hard as the pc?

I have been getting a ton of database errors from this site, is it me or is there a problem with it? I had 4-5 of them in a row with that post, that's probably why it double posted. Is it uncommon for one to be "working harder" than the other when they are both at idle? I mean granted the server is a meager 600Mhz while the desktop is 2.8gig I guess the speed would make a diference.

Correct.... the 2.8GHz will run a lot warmer than the 600MHz

As for the database errors. I can only apologize and hope it will be cleared up as soon as possible. We are getting spam through as well so some setting may have been changed or they are just getting better at getting round the security...

I see. I hate spam. I run a couple for forums myself and its a never ending battle trying to keep them out.
