    Motherboard Monitor imo..
    I have used it but it only works if your computer comes with on board sensors

    Other alternatives can be Speedfan or Coretemp

    As of right now, RivaTuner and HWMonitor show pretty much all the temps you need to know of.
    More info in my sig.

    well, at the moment, i dont have my m1530, few more days wait.

    the hwmonitor is only showing HDD temps, i have a 5200fx which isnt showing up or my pentium 4 3.00ghz or ram, is that as they have no sensors or do i need to do something?

    also where in rivatuner do i find temps?
    all it has is main, settings, power user, launcher, schedular, about and links.

    What model computer are you trying it on?
    As you say, it may not have the temperature sensors.
    When you get your M1530 it should show more than hard drive temperature.

    CPU-Z is a popular program, but I personally prefer to use Core Temp for CPU temp monitoring.

    And although I occasionally check my graphics temp with GPU-Z ('coz it doesn't require installation)... Nvidia's nTune includes temperature monitoring - among its many other functions :cool:

    If someone is still interested, I use I8kfanGUI - Dell Inspiron/Latitude/Precision fan control utility and is really great.
