Hello list,

  Recently overclocked my new Celeron 400 to 450 [66->75 MHz], works
fine; didn't tried faster yet. But I would like to constantly monitor
the CPU temperature to avoid any possible damages. My board
[ABIT BX6 2.0] has an ambient temp. meter and it's standing at
40-42 C while working, but the CPU meter is absent.
  (Also 2 fans - in power supply and at front, but the board shows
only one, and CPU fan stats aren't displayed in WinBond, but are
displayed in BIOS - why?)

  2 questions:

  a. How do I install / where do I buy / what could I use to meter
the CPU temp? [I have a PPGA Celeron chip on PPGA->Slot1 adapter]

  b. Is 40-42 C normal? Would running w/o case help much? I don't
like the idea because my area is really dusty, and seldom I drop
some objects over the case -- without cover they'd just go inside...

Thanks a lot,
