I've never used it, but I've heard good things about a program called "Speedfan".Click here for a download.

that didnt work either. i guess my mobo doesnt have a temp sensor or something. thats ok im looking at the susu p4p800 se. u have any opinions on it?

about the size of a grain of rice

I think the program might be sucky. I went into the BIOS and it said the temp was 36-37 celcius.

Sounds like you did it alright. Try downloading the speedfan program and see what you get with that. The BIOS reading sounds about right.

I've never used that motherboard personally, but from what I hear most Intel users consider it to be one of the best motherboards for that CPU socket.

I use PC wizard and CPU-Z.

CPU-Z: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
PC Wizard: http://www.cpuid.com/pcw.php

With PC Wizard, you can start the program up, and then minimize it, and in the upper right, in bright green, it'll tell you the cpu speed, fsb speed and the cpu temp.

EDIT: Or you could just click "CPU-Z" in my sig. That's why I made it!

maby its misteaking the CPU sensor for the PSU sensor. I feel some really hot air comming out of the fan in the PSU.
