    Hello all,

    One simple question: my Fujitsu Siemens S6210 has the "monitor CPU temperature" option disabled in Notebook Hardware Control. Is this because the laptop really has no temperature monitoring built-in or is it a problem with NHC? Is there any other software that might be able to "see" my laptop's temperature?

    Thanks in advance!

    What is your notebook specs, etc?

    Try downloading HWMonitor

    Didn't think this would help much, but here goes:

    Fujitsu-Siemens S6210
    CPU: Pentium M 1.6 GHz

    I don't think I have any more useful information... RAM is 2 GB and graphics card is integrated, but that probably doesn't help much.

    EDIT: Bad news, HWMonitor doesn't show CPU temperature either. Guess my laptop is too old for that.

    Thanks for taking the time to help!

    I have the same CPU as you, HWMonitor should show the ACPI Thermal zone temps. Which is pretty much the cpu temps

    Well... it doesn't. Check the pic below to see what I get. By the way, I used HWM v. 1.09 for this.

    Thanks again for the time :)
