Bloomfield CPUs should have the TjMax written in a register. If you use the Open Hardware Monitor you can just double click on the core temperature to see the TjMax parameter read from the register. Also note, that software does not read the absolute core temperature from the registers, but the...

You could also give the Open Hardware Monitor a try. But Pentium 4 do not have any core sensors like Core 2, i3, i5, i7 and newer AMD processors. So there it is not a software limitation, but problem of the hardware. But usually the older CPUs still have a thermal diode, which can measure the...

They should have about the same accuracy, and about the same as the Open Hardware Monitor. They all read the core temp from a MSR (register). The difference comes from reading the sensors at different times. Except of course, they use a different TjMax, which you might have set manually in one...

Usually the VCore is read from the LPC Super I/O chip, which measures it. There exist many different LPC Super I/O chips, and maybe CPU-Z just doesn't support the one used on your mainboard. I think the MSI H55-GD65 uses a Fintek F71889 (big chip just below the audio connectors). You could try...

CPUID HWMonitor http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php if you haven't tested yet. Perhaps Speedfan or HWiNFO32 http://www.hwinfo.com/ as well.

I created a thread about an open source hardware monitor application yesterday, and about an hour later the thread disappeared (without notice). I am not sure if or why it was deleted / disappeared. I am asking here, because If I overlooked any forum rules, then I don't want to cause any more...

Its now almost a year old (already :o), but otherwise very impressiv. It would be great if they continue to add results made on the same boards. Tables like these are very easy to read, because you don't need to make big assumptions about the influence of other hardware parts changed.

you could try the Open Hardware Monitor as well. http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ It's still in Beta status, so if you find anything wrong, please let me know.
