Hi,
How do I monitor the CPU temperature in Windows Vista? There's no CPU temperature indicator in task manager-performance. Regards |

Hi Juan,
That sort of functionality is not provided by the OS, it's provided by a utility from the maker of the motherboard. Check with them for a Vista-compatible software set designed for this. As this type of software uses device drivers, it is essential that it be Vista compatible or it will likely fail. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "JuanP" wrote in message news ![]() Hi, How do I monitor the CPU temperature in Windows Vista?

I found speedfan installed very easily, was compatible with Vista Home Premium and gave me JUST what I needed! FYI, your linky above was broken, had an extra ) character at the end...I fixed it here in the reply so folks can click on the link above and go right to the speedfan site.

Hey, that's pretty sweet too! I really just needed the temps so speedfan certainly fit the bill, but I DEFINITELY have use for SIW. What advantages are there to buying the Tech version?? I am a tech...if the functionality is better than Everest (and the price), I'm gonna have to pick that up! But the free version is definitely still the bomb.
