yea u can do that.. But if u want, u can buy a temperature gauge. And put it in front of ur PC so u will have the TEmp all the time. But i saw that u have a ASUS mobo. A disc comes with the ASUS motherboards that has software on it. Like mine did. There is a program on there that u can install that is a temp gauge. I think its called like real time monitor or somthing like that. It tells u ur voltage, ur mobo temp, ur CPU temp and all these other cool things.
