What's the best and most recommended software with the following features?

1- Monitors the CPU's temperature
2- Gives alarms in time if approaching the risk borders.

And

3- Automatically shuts down the computer if the user ignores the previously sent alarm.

Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating.

After re-reading this 3 times, the pins in those connectors should have a small flange of metal that hooks the inside of the connector (the one on the end of the wire) preventing it from backing out, not sure why it would have failed, unless they had a fan with bare wires that they attached to the old connector, i don't see much problem with glueing the wire into the connector, the three wires are black (ground) red (+12V) and yellow (tach)
the fan will work without that tach, it just reports to the MB the speed of the fan.

You should be able to find some 80mm fans usually cost <$10USD you would want to put the one in the back blowing out, or if you put on in the front it should be blowing in, I usually check the temp of the air coming out of the power supply fan, if it seems excessivly hot (thats a mater of opinion as to what's too hot) that's a sign it could use some more air flow and cooling, my older win98 computer has a PS fan, back fan, front fan, cpu fan and video card fan, and it makes quite a bit of noise.
