[BNM] Anyone familiar with SpeedFan?

[Paul Silver]

Hi Gillian,

Feel free to send me a screenshot of the speedfan report, though I've
not used it much either. If you've got red flames I'd suggest shutting
it down, opening it up and seeing if there's dust you can blow out of
anything. If not, I'd look at changing the fan that blows over the
processor. 

The heatsink over the processor on my old PC used to get filled with
dust, so it needed blowing/cleaning out about once a year to keep things
happily cool.

Cheers

Paul
