CPU Temperature Widget?

[zijincheng]

Hi, is there a CPU Temperature widget for windows 7? I tried all cpu monitor but it didn't register any temperature at all...

I've been trying to look for one but I can't find one at all

I've looked everywhere for this as well. The best I found is this: Speed Fan Meter. It works well but you to have Speed Fan installed and running.

Here's a good one, recommended by our very own Mr GRiM

thanks for the replies, but i forgot to mention i was hoping for a standalone widget that measured temperature and did not require and other software to run

 

[tw33k]

It doesn't exist

For temps, your better off using your MOBO software IMO.
Most gadgets Ive found require other software you may or may not want.

Hi again zijincheng,

This works in Vista so it may work in Windows 7 as well: Core Temp (32-bit) - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

You haven't specified if you're using 32- or 64-bit Windows 7...

I regulary do temp monitoring on several machine and have found the following to be consistently true: If speedfan works (i.e., provides temps and fan speeds), nearly all the other monitoring utilities will work, too. If speedfan does not work, NONE of the other monitoring utilities will work, either.

So, since speedfan is free and widely used, suggest you try it out first. If you get temps and fan speeds, then you can experiment with other utilities that have GUIs you may like better.

Another one is "HWMonitor meter", but, of course, you need to install... HWMonitor...
You will find all infos and links here :

Here's one I use from orbmu2k. The one I use particular is the interlcoreseries one (2.4), but just for Intel cpu's. You can have it install the WinRing0 driver, shows temps without any other software, but only shows the cpu cores temps, not the separate CPU temp. Also shows used/total RAM. Works good for me though.

Should work for you, if you have Core 2 Duo cpu.

Please be aware that the software listed below added more than the Core Temp, program which did not work and wanted yet another program to be installed in order to work. It also changed my Menu Bar and added an unwanted Backup Program. If I could sue whoever Walker is I would. Changing my menu bar is akin to kidnapping my computer. I do not take this lightly. Please Keep that in mind Walker.
