I think most if not all make beeps (if there is a speaker/beeper
connected) when things are getting too warm.

Only if ASUS-Probe or something similar is installed, I think, and
definitely only if it is set to load at startup.

My Gigabyte motherboard has warning beeps that can be enabled when
various temp sensors reach a certain level, and you can even set the
temp that will trigger the beeps, but I didn't have to install anything
to get these functions; it's part of the default BIOS.

Thanks - that sounds like what I was remembering.

It's ridiculous, but as far as I'm concerned, the real advantage of having gone
to Cambridge is that you never have to attempt or even think about coping with
not having gone there. - Steven Fry, Radio Times 13-19 September 2003

That's cool. I didn't know about that. Probably newer than anything
I have.

(Actually, it's when it's hot, not cool ... sorry) I don't know what you
have, but this technology - if you can call it that - has been around
for some time: the mobo I have or had that has or had this feature ...
well, my present PC is at least five years old, I think more, and I
can't remember if the feature when I first encountered it was/is in that
PC or the one I had before it.

That's why I have never bought into the "grumpy old woman" stereotype. I don't
want to look back and whinge, but to look forward and celebrate. - Bel Mooney

no firwire?
Click to expand...

I've never actually owned a device that uses
firewire, so that was a non-issue for me.

It's got a butt-load of SATA slots though, and I've got a front panel
with ESATA to use it, which is good enough for me.
