Just really bizarre, especially considering it lists the temperature of the GPU core but nothing else in the CPU:
It's unfortunate, because every other CPU monitoring tool I've seen doesn't support this processor.
If you're wondering about why I care about the temperature, It's because of the lack of holes anywhere other than the one side:
I haven't had anything run this computer at 100% yet (I need to take the Wii out of my closet and rip some games. I'm not confident this computer will run GameCube games well, but I could run Sony Vegas's Preview window at max settings with no problem, something my lame 1.8GHz dual core CPU couldn't do) so I don't know how hot it will get. It will probably be fine, but if not (I could even overclock it if so, especially if it's just barely out of reach for GameCube emulation) I wonder if I can improve airflow if I cut out plastic in rows to make vents. My grandfather has good equipment for cutting plastic; I just wonder where the optimal spot for these vents would be. It seems like you could get good airflow if you were to reverse the fan and make a vent directly beneath it.
This is how the laptop looks with the back removed: (the DVD drive is removed. It takes up the top left corner, but there's still a lot of empty space overall, just not continuous.)
Yeah, I was an idiot with my older post. I didn't know the thing with the copper rod above it was the CPU. (I'm new to this. ) Oddly enough, there's an empty space above it to the left a little that has "GPU" marked, although there was no option for a non integrated GPU. The CPU is soldered to the motherboard, unfortunately, but at least I can add more RAM if I need to (and I already changed the hard drive.)
