Hi Pat,

Take a look at SpeedFan, http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php.

In addition to temperatures, it also monitors voltages and fan speeds, and for S.M.A.R.T. disks, it can monitor their temperature also. It also has the ability to control fan speeds based on temperature.

And it's free.

That's news to me... I don't recall ever seeing a tool that could be
used to check temps. Interesting stuff.

Actually Pentium-class and newer CPUs have temp sensors:

"TCASE is the temperature measurement using a thermocouple embedded in the
center of the heat spreader. This initial measurement is done at the
factory. Post-manufacturing, TCASE is calibrated by the BIOS, through a
reading delivered by a diode between and below the cores."
