How to measure CPU heat if no thermal sensor on socket

[JoPalm]

A lot of people here talk and own a MSI K7T Pro2-A MB, most oc theirs' too. I read over at a site that the pro2-a mb doesn't have a thermal sensor inside the cpu socket, so how do you know how hot the cpu is then?! Do you use a seperate device.

Thx

The pro 2 a does have temp monitoring,you can view it in the bios or install the hardware doctor software. It reads off one of the CPU/socket pins.
