How to check heat of your cpu

[wongb18c]

Is there anyway to check what temp your cpu is running at without going into bios? Is there a software you can dl for this or does it have to be a physical installation of some heat monitor?

SiSoftwre Sandra. I don't have a link, but it's a great program telling you info about every aspect of your compter incliding temps. Try to do a Google search.

it has to be dependent on your BIOS, if your BIOS supports reading temperatures, then you can avail other software utilities.

SiS softsandra isnt temperature reading utility, (i'm though unaware about newer versions), but it hardware testing utility, that tests your compupter CPU, Memory, Chipset etc benchmarks.

That is another useful feature of Sandra. When checking my mobo and chip, it reads temps too.

Great software... seems to have a temp reading as far as I can see... and a whole bunch of other pc stat readings. Thanks.

I don't know about pro, I got this version for free (I just assume PRO is a pay-for program). I will check google and see if I can't find the Sisoftware site and see what I can find.
