Cpu Temp Monitor!
Hello Guys!
What is the best software to monitor my dual-core temperature within window environment? I have already got Gigabyte EasyPro tune and mobo BIOS that I used but I would like another monitor resource to get an overall idea. Temp is not a issue right now. Many thanks. Thierry.

Yes Cricket I have tried it but I came up with another issue: The EasyPro tune, Core Temp, SpeedFan all show different temp readings. I don't know which one is reliable? Many thanks.

All software-based sensors are going to show different readings, they're fundementally inaccurate, and can only give you an idea of the system temperatures. To be quite honest, an idea is all you need. If you're not experiencing any system stability issues, then you do not have a temperature issue. You can of course use the readings to get an idea of trends - a steady increase in reported temperatures would be an indicator of dust-build up almost regardless of whether the sensors are reporting the 'correct' temperatures. Fundamentally, you'll get the best software readings from your BIOS, though obviously you'll only be able to see idle temperatures from here.

Give speedfan a try if you're looking for something else. It's usually reasonably accurate.
