X2 4200+ Hot Hot Hot!

When asus probe says the fan has stopped, has it actually stopped or is it spinning very slowly? As some sensors think some slow fans have stopped when they slow down. If it's stopped I suggest getting another heatsink/fan or just a fan before using the PC again.

I had a gfx card fan die on me and i wondered what the burning smell was ;)
Seriously the first sign I got was the smell of burning PCB. (some mobo's have safety shutdown temps, which if disabled theres no guarantee it'll cut before it burns)

Still works luckily I'm posting this msg with it - lovely old Ti4600 :D
 
I dont think it stopped completly, i think it went below the 600rpm threshold. Why it should do it ingame i dont know
