Temperature monitoring software for my hardware?

[MD1032]

Hi, just wondering if there was a good program out there to give me an idea of what temperature my cpu, hard disks, etc, are running at? I'm just curious as to how hot my computer runs. I have a Dell Dimension 4550 I got last Xmas as a present and have enjoyed it a lot. BTW, I use XP.

Check out Motherboar Monitor 5 or MBM 5 for short. Just google it.

I like aida32 - not sure how well it'll work w/ the dell. I never could get mbm to work w/ my 4550.

OMG...this thing is unbelievable complicated. I can't even figure out how to get it to show my freaking temperature!!!! I'm in the settings panel and can't find any graphs or charts or anything telling me my CPU temp. Good lord...just freaking show me my temperature!!!!

edit: wonderful, I opened my windows task manager and my CPU is stuck at 100%. Is this because of that program in my tray?

Any DECENT temperature monitoring software requires you to set it up...this way you know actually know what you're reading ... not just what some program tells you.

Why don't you read off the program that's showing 100% CPU usage before blaming it on MBM5?

SpeedFan is a pretty simple program to use, might want to give it a try. It autodetects stuff for you
