Hello,

I am looking for a program that can tell me the tempature of my processor and such... that works with vista. I tried downloading asus probe but it does not work with vista.
 
use coretemp and run it under compartibility mode and pc probe ,right click the file and under properties run under compartibility mode as well and choose xp and it will instal and work
 
I did the right click compability with asus probe and it did not want to install :(

I'll try coretemp and see how it goes!


Thank YOU!
 
You could also use the vista sidebar/gadget that shows the CPU temperature.
 
You could also mention which version of Vista you're asking about: 32 bit or 64 bit. Editions aren't relevant like Home, Home Premium, etc, but the version is, especially with respect to temp monitors.

Which one has the temp monitors, 32 or 64? I have 64 bit (Ultimate) and I do not remember seeing them.

It's actually built into Vista. (I have only tried it on the 32 bit versions of Home Premium and Ultimate though)

Click start menu, and in text box type sidebar, and it should display sidebar and sidebar properties. You can then launch it from there. Once the sidebar is opened, you can right click it to add a gadget, and select the CPU temperature one.
 
Vile: there's no default gadget available on install that monitors temps. The gadget you're talking about is a cpu meter that measures cpu usage and memory usage. However, I think I saw a gadget that monitors temps in the live gallery (bottom right link on the gadgets window).
 
Another vote for Everest, although I'd like to point out that the freeware Everest is a discontinued product. I've been using Everest Ultimate for ages, and have never regretted the purchase price.

The current version works fine under Vista. The upcoming new version will integrate with the Vista Sidebar. You can get that latter feature now by using the beta version.

Doh. I'll double check that...I thought I did see one that did the CPU temperature though (not just the cpu usage one)...
 
Speedfan just released a new beta version that has the .dll signed by Verisign.. which means it now works on Vista 64 (as well as other versions of Vista)
 
CoreTemp works under vista, just make sure you run click and "Run As Administrator".

SpeedFan works, I use that as well.

Intel TAT works just fine also...
