How to tell temp of CPU???

[mudpuppy]

W was wondering how you knew what the temp of your CPU is. I just put together a new system and it feels a bit warm, any info would be nice. Thank you!

get a program such as motherboard monitor 5

it uses the sensors on your mobo to readout the temps in windows, most new mobo's are supported

also, you can usually access temps from the "hardware monitor" in your BIOS at boot-up

Thanks for the info, I installed it and it seems to be sitting at 51, is that about normal??

yep, 51 is a relatively normal temp for a 1.4, you should be just fine

Mine runs about 56C at full load, and about what yours is doing just cruising the net.
