CPU temperature monitor

SANTANDER

could someone recommend a CPU temperature monitor utility that can works
with Celeron 2.66GHz CPU (MB is Socket 478 for Intel P4 processor, Intel
845GV chipset)

Thanks,

I use
http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php reccommended by someone in here, ...
It works correctly identifies and reports temps, on my Intel and AMD based
motherboards, cpu core & motherboard temp sensor, and on my AMD boards it
even reports the GPU core temperature in AGP slot graphics cards !
I was so pleased with the quality, (and obviously the large amount of effort
that the author has obviously put into it that I donated a little money at
his site).

regards, Richard

....having said that, Speedfan voltage reports are quite inaccurate. For
example, it claims that my Seasonic psu 12v rail is providing only 8.4
volts, which wildly disagrees with my voltmeter !!
Temperature reports are okay though, ...if you can work out which one is
which !

How is it Speedfan's fault that a motherboard sensor reports an
incorrect value? Have you rebooted into the BIOS screens to see what
voltages are listed in its health screen? Have you tried using the
monitor program that your motherboard maker provides to see if it is
accurate or jibes with Speedfan?

Did you check the CDs that came with the unidentified motherboard if a
monitor utility was included? Did you check the software downloads at
the unidentified motherboard maker's web site for a monitor utility
(that says it works with whatever model motherboard of theirs that you
have)?

Check if the mobo maker has a monitor utility. If not, try using
Speedfan. Besides monitoring temperatures, you may be able to use it to
regulate your fan speeds to reduce noise.

Whilst hunting around for a motherboard sensor chip program a while ago, I
noticed lots of people commenting that Speedfan doesn't report the correct
psu voltages. Other temp. reporting progs. did not recognize my Winbond
W83627EHG chip - Speedfan did. However, I was only interested in the
temperature reports

My main PC with a Seasonic 430 watt SII psu in it - Bios screen:-
Vcore 1.264-256
+3.30 3.312 V
+5.00 5.112 V
+12.00 12.302-355...which all agree with a quality digital Voltmeter

Speedfan:-
Vcore: 1.27 V
+12V: 8.45V
AVcc: 3.25V

....so it seems that Speedfan is getting it wrong ! :-)

It's possible. Tables are used to lookup the output from the chips to
determine what the mean. Looks like the sensor on your mobo doesn't
have a table in Speedfan or it is using the wrong table. Same thing
happens in the Motherboard Monitor (MBM) utility.

You might want to go under Configure -> Advanced and see what sensors
are listed in the Chip drop-down list.

I use one called "HDMonitor". It is free, and come with another tool
called "CPUID". The latter tool is a "use once and you know" thing, but
the HWMonitor is excellent for telling you both CPU temp and HD temp.

===================

my motherboard model is P4i45GV R3.0 I noticed that CPU temperatue is
57C/134F , CPU FAN speed 3695 RPM Is this normal temperature, or there may
be problems?
Does the hot temperature will affect on CPU life?


thanks
