I use PC Wizard 2006. From the makers of the infamous CPUz.

Speedfan, Everest For most.

Coretemp for Core 2 Duo and Revision F/E AMD's

Intel TAT for Core 2 Duo.

I would suggest Speedfan.

I use Mother Board Monitor 5 and CoreTemp to keep track of my temps. My DFI board also comes with SmartGuardian, but I don't use it since MBM5 gives me more information.

I only recently installed SpeedFan for it's SMART capabilities, and it's a pretty nice utility.

I agree with Speedfan as a good software choice. Find it here:

You can also check your temps in BIOS.
