I installed the Asus probe on my bench machine today, mainly because I have never really looked at the software. A quick peek at the CPU temp saw it running at 54'C which I thought, kinda high, but it's also not an overly large heat sink that I'm running on it. Then it hit me, the RC5-64 client was running which means the CPU is running at 100% capacity. So I paused the client and within 10 seconds, the temp had dropped to 35'C. Started it up again, and once again, the temp popped up to a steady 54'C.

So there you go, install the RC5-64 client from distributed.net and get your min/max operating temps in less than 30 seconds.
