I tried looking it, so in bootup I checked my PC health in the BIOS, and it said CPU #1 was running at about 45C, the second one running at 75-80C! I rebooted and went into windows and ran SiSoftware, and it found that CPU #1 was running at 37C, and CPU #2 was running at 47C.
Could be the mobo on its way out..... or at least the thermal diode...

Is my logic right? Did CPU #2 end up dieing, or did just the fan? How can I find out what really happened and how can I fix it?
Swap the CPUs around and boot 'er up agian

I'd also of course like to know if 37C is a safe temperature for a CPU to run at
Ya thats plenty cold for those chips

Lastly, the Fan/Heatsink combo I use is Speeze brand, I cant remember the exact model or serial, and I couldnt find a lookalike on their website, but its pretty big and I think its a good fan.
Relooked and this looks similar to the two fans I have for my CPUs.
Well do a visual inspection .. ARE they spinning?
