software for motherboard msi kt3

[I0's]

hello i got this software with my mobo msi kt3 ultra 2 called PC Alert 4, it has a feature Cooling XP, i was woundering what its is?? when i turn it on it decreases my cpu temp by 10*C deg

It sends HALT instruction to the CPU while it's not under load, thus causing it to cool down. Perfectly safe.

COOOLLLL :r
it cools it by 10 degree

I have the same MB (MSI KT3) with an XP 2000 and had the same question.

The PC Alert Cooler cools my system down by 7-10 C on the hot days when I tried it. Last night was cool here and my system was running at 38 under full load- so I forgot to try it.

FYI, the CPU temp under Fuzzy logic and PC Alert are both off by at least 4 degrees on my system. I noticed this yesterday when I Downloaded Speed Fan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) - I then doubled checked the #'s in the Bios.

So you might want to check that out.

Anyone know how I can get this program? I have a KT3 Ultra-2 but it only came with PC Alert III, which doesn't have this feature. I've already tried a program like VCool but it doesn't work.

You will need to download the latest Software Here (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_list.php)

It is just the latest Version-- it does seem to work better than the previous.

I just downloaded Alert 4 and I noticed the same thing, the temps are off by about 4-5 degrees. That's ok I guess, the CoolerXP option is working nicely :) Don't know what causes it though, under PC Alert 3 the temps match the BIOS ones so I have no idea...

I just found out that you can run PC Alert III with CoolerXP since it isn't built into PC Alert 4, so that takes care of that problem :)

Your system should have a monitoring program that can monitor the temps-- if not than downloadSpeedFan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) -- works well for me - or after your system has been running for a while, reboot and look in your Bios.

Thank for the info- I now have the PC Cooler program in my startup folder so it is always running- I want to run PC Mark with and W/O that running to see what the system drain is -- any ideas ? :confused:

strat1 , where would i go to see if my comp has a program to read the temp and do most computers come with one? My comp is pretty new and im not shure what the program would be called or if it even has one. thanks much
