What freeware utilities do you guys like to use for monitoring the temperature for the CPU? I know I D/L one many years ago and heck if I know where I saved it.

I always just use Everest. It has a sensor section.
Also, Motherboard Monitor is a good.

Cool - thanks Darren.

I was just going to post exactly what Darren said Chewy..He's way too fast.

I've used MBM 5 on many machines. It's good if you want to keep an eye on the your temps all the time. Just sits there in the tray..

Right now I just take a look at Everest once in a while..

Two votes for MBM v5 from two very reputable sources. Thanks - that's good enough for moi.

Chewy, MBM 5 was originally suggested to me by Mark 099 years ago..That guy has given me nothing but good advice since I started here..

I don't know if I can be considered a very reputable source, but I use and recomend Motherboard Monitor. It's real cheap....FREE!

Just a small point on MM ... it is no longer supported, as a result it does not work on some newer motherboards ... but Everest does.

List of motherboards supported by MBM.

I like MBProbe.

Anyone know of a CPU temp monitoring program that can monitor a Dell Optiplex GX280 computer? None of the ones in this thread can. I know there has to be a CPU temperature sensor because you can hear the CPU fan spin up and slow down. Everest (the newest version) comes the closest. It can read the sensor for the hard drive temperature.

What do you mean he's the Doctor? Doctor Who?

Go into the BIOS and make sure monitoring is enabled.

The motherboard itself doesn't support temp readings.

Shame on you Intel.

Many, if not all, Dell computers don't have temperature sensors. The way to tell is to check in the BIOS. Any board with temperature sensors will report the temperatures in the BIOS.

Temperature sensitive fans usually depend on sensors built into the fan, not on system temperatures.

I don'nt know Doc if it is a good thing if you can hear your CPU fan speed up and slow down!
