I downloaded a temperature program, but it said "no sensors found" so it couldn't display temperature. Basically, I want to check, because sometimes I'll play UT2004 for 10 minutes and the fan won't kick on, and other times it'll just be surfing the web and the fan will be screaming, and hte bottom will get really really hot. ?!

Any ideas?

Some incarnations of the G4 doesnīt have the Peltier element (temp sensor), AFAIK also the 667/800 MHz ones. So thereīs no chance to measure...

I turned off the sound, and it runs quite nicely, with everything set pretty low. Turn off the sound, it tells you how in the games forum.

I'm using the 17" Powerbook Rev. A, and I have Temperature Monitor installed, and it tells me my CPU temp without any errors...
