Alot of mobo have a apps on the driver cd that monitor temps like Asus Probe. Speed Fan 4.21 is supposed to good as well.

I have an EPOX 8RDA+ and it didn't come with an app. At least I don't think it did.

USDM for your board. Here is a link to app from the Epox page. USDM

thanks and do you know if 40C is good or not for a CPU temp?

Np. That sounds on target for a decent idle temp.

What should a underload CPU temp be?

Depends on your CPU. <50 for Athlons and <60 for Pentiums.

Motherboard Monitor 5 is a great program to check a lot of things with, including your voltages, clock speeds, many different temps, etc. A bit confusing at first, but definately better than a lot of apps that come with the motherboard such as Corecenter or Asus Probe.
