I have a HP m7525 PC and I worry about processor core temperature, does anyone know of a monitor program that will work with a Pentium D 820 Dual core processor ? Several I have tried give a invalid processor error message.

Have you tried RMClock ?

its very neat

Thanks for the reply, I've tried the free version of RMClock but the CPU temp field is marked N/A. I guess I probably need to purchase the PRO version to get that facility, but I don't do business over the net. (once burned twice shy).

nope ... its working with the free version ... so either RMClock is not capable of reading the Pentium D temp or it can't be read (which I doubt)

so you may try

and can you read the CPU temperature from your BIOS ?

ps: I just noticed that RMClock is really bad in reading the CPU temp ... its showing about 23°C for my CPU which cant be true
the 38°C the CPUID HW M does show are much more believable

Thanks once again CPUID HW M works and indicates a THRM temp of 40 celsius, is this the cpu core temp ?, as you will have guessed I'm something of a novice.

hmmm, its pretty obvious
