On the topic of thermal goo, how do I figure out if my P4 is
running at full speed? I've read that the P4 will automatically
slow itself if it gets too hot. Well, how am I to know if this is
happening? <br>
<br>
To avoid being laughed off the list, I won't mention what I am
currently using in lieu of thermal goo, but rest assured that it would
get me laughed off the list. <br>
<br>
If I can't determine directly whether my processor is throttling itself, can anybody suggest any benchmarks I might try?<br>
<br>
To veer back toward the topic, my machine has randomly rebooted a few
times, but not since newegg sent my new power supply. Apparently
you don't need to actually upgrade your power supply, sometimes your
power supply just needs a better one looking over its shoulder.
