What's the best alternative to read the temp when your cheapass mobo doesn't have the lm78 and gl5187sm chips? Is there anything I can use to read the temp from the c2 thermal diode? How about an outdoor thermometer temperature probe stuck to the heatsink? Thanks...

P.S. Any ideas on where to FIND a LM78 and gl5187sm and solder it to my board?
