are there any software that monitors your computer's temperature? also, what would be the normal temperture of the computer when idle. normally, is it safe to use the compress air to blow out the dust in the heatsink of the laptop?
thanks.

i just installed that on my old desktop, and i can't find where it would display the temp of my cpu. must not have the sensor.

does anybody know whether it is generally safe to use compress air to blow dust off the heatsink on a laptop?
thanks.

Not a good idea to use compressed air. It just blows it into inaccessible places, and that dust can contain conductive particles that can do damage. use a vacuum cleaner and a soft natural bristle brush. Hold the vacuum nozzle near the brush but do not touch anything with it.

You can use the free Mother Board Monitor (MBM) if your motherboard has sensors, but if it does you should also have a temp program on the CD that came with the motherboard.
