Default Monitoring the CPU temperature

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.

I use Speedfan to Monitor the Temps of my Motherboard/CPU.

I second Speedfan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php). It works
great, and has a hard drive monitor, temp monitor, fan control, etc.

Neat! I had a need for such a thing, googled it and here it was! 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.

THANKS!

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.
