    A little more system info would be helpful Dr., but is it possible there's no temp sensor perhaps?

    Did you actually happen to turn it on?

    By default, only CPU temp is enabled.

    Enable/Disable Internal Sensor Data

    Press Options button
    Select Status Reading tab
    Under Internal sensor data choose the ones you want to monitor

    Read CPU temperature
    Read GPU temperature
    Read memory temperature
    Read chipset temperature
