Best program to monitor cpu temp

[Psycho]

In vista?

Intel's TAT or CoreTemp!

 

[Dolorous Dave]

I think CoreTemp and TAT both work with Vista.

 

[chinked|out]

[elyrly]

another TAT, Core temp beta

 

[pumbertot]

coretemp does not work correctly in vista, at least not for me.

For Vista users, either disable the User Account Protection or right click on Coretemp and run as administrator.

CoreTemp won't work for me either, it says "driver has failed to load" and then gives me "100 (?)" as temps on everything.

Yes, I read that, and I did that, and I still get the error I posted, that's why I added it to the conversation....

I'm on 64-bit BTW.

So apparently there is a work-around:

I disabled the signed driver enforcement and now I can read temps in Coretemp, haven't tried others yet but I'm happy enough with that!

 

[Regular Daddy]

core temp works fine in vista. I also use Everest

 

[no7fish]

It's a 64-bit quirk. If you're on 32 then coretemp probably worked for you all along. The 64 version requires signed drivers for all software and things like coretemp don't have it yet, even coretemp beta apparently.

Note that TAT gives incorrect readings on the e4300. It's boosted by +15 degrees C. Intel has acknowledged this issue.
