Granted I most likely would never know but thanx for PC-Alert It make a siren sound than lets me know when it gets below 2000rpm. When it drops its always to 300rpm and lasts up to three minutes, this isnt acceptable as it can allow my Cpu to jump 5 or more degrees. Any Ideas? I was thinking it may just be PC-Alert, maybe not.
