When discussing over clocking or just in general, why are PC temperatures always in degrees Celsius? I realize most the world uses Celsius. I consider the Celsius scale to be a lazy mans scale. 0 degrees is freezing and 100 degrees is boiling. I think it's a bunch of crap. The Fahrenheit scale is much more accurate then the Celsius scale. I have also never seen an over clocking utility that can convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Are there any out there?

I also feel the same way about the metric system. The Metric system is just contributing to the complete dumbing down of the youth. Kids today can't multiply or divide fractions. I am calling for a Jihad against the Metric system and the Celsius scale.

I used this program to monitor temps on cpu and gpu when I was trying to find out why my computer keep shutting down on me. It shows both methods of measurement together. Although it has nothing to do with overclocking.
