cpu temp monitoring how to in windows xp?

[Nyconx]

I have an epox 8kha+ with a xp 1900 plugged into it and I was wondering how to monitor the tempeture of it while having the system in use. So I could see how hot it gets running quake threee and stuff. The only way I know is to look at the temp during boot. Any Ideas?

look for "motherboard monitor 5" (MBM5); that is if you're mobo didnt come with a cd with some app' on it, I think a fair few do now (esp. ones orientated towards overclockers).

I use the Gigabyte SIV that came with mine, peice of piss to install and shows everything I might want - voltages, cpu/case temps, fan rpm, also some HDD & memory space thing which can be set to warn you if it gets too low. Very easy and exactly what I want. MBM5 has a lot more but also more complex, I gather it's very popular though .

i use speedfan.

measures temp of ur cpu and hdd if it supports it. i had to RMA my hdd twice. after installing speedfan, i realized my hdd was running at 60C. now its only running at 43C.

I use somethign called CoolMon that uses mbm5 as well to report cpu temps and all.
