    I upgraded my desktop with Vista and my previous motherboard supported cpu monitor does not support Vista. I have my computer overclocked and I have to know my temps. Does anyone know any good Cpu temp monitoring programs that are free.

    Thanks.

    If you have an Intel cpu you might want to give Intel TAT (Thermal Analysis Tool) a try.
    It's not compatible with Vista64 though.
    You can't find it on the Intel site because it is meant as a tool for manufacturers. And used a lot by consumers ;) .

    You can use the monitoring page of RMclock to report CPU speed, load, temperature, etc.

    I use PC Wizard 2007. If you minimize the window it will show the temps, CPU speed, and voltage over your desktop in the upper right hand corner.
