How do I test CPU temp if Windows not installed

comandoed · Jan 11, 2015

I reset Q6600 on motherboard using fresh NT-H1.

I dont have Windows installed on Hard Drive yet.

If I applied the TIM properly and install Windows I can verify the CPU temp
by using RealTemp.
If I applied the TIM improperly and install Windows I suspect I will fry the CPU.

How do I proceed?

You can take a look at BIOS, the idle temp might be a little higher than expected but that is because while in BIOS the power saving features are not in use.

That would give me a look at the temp bef the install? I'm concerned about the temp rise while installing Windows.

Good luck frying a Q6600 if the heatsink is installed; it will shut down way before being damaged.

I think I might try Hirens Boot Cd also. There is S&M Stress Test under Testing Tools.
I just googled it. It might show temp.
