How do I determine my CPU temperature?

I have seen lots of threads on the forum regarding the temperature of various processors. After reading through them I have not found any that tell me how to determine the temperature of mine. Is this a function of the processor? Is there some software I need to buy?
The reason I would like to know my CPU temperature is I bought a new desk and the CPU is in an enclosed area now. I checked the temp and after leaving the PC running all day and the door to the enclosure shut. The ambient temperature got up to 96 F. This seems a bit high to me. Any suggestions on how I cool down the enclosure?

there are a lot of ways.

check your motherboard cd if you got one and that usually has the software needed to view this piece of info.

also look in the bios for system stats and that might contain the cpu/system temp.

a search on downloads.com found me this

http://download.com.com/3000-2344-58...l?tag=lst-0-10

Win Monitor 1.0a

WiN Monitor is a System Information monitoring Bar with lots of additional useful features. WiN Monitor provides a real-time display describing hardware usage and system-service activity, such as HPC Time, Free Disk Space, CPU Temperature, CPU Load Level, Mouse Position, etc, on local or remote* computers with Windows 98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows Whistler operating systems. I know you are thinking there are a lot of them out there and probably already have one installed on your computer. I am telling you that this one is different. With this powerful toolbar you will not only monitor any interesting system information, you are able to use many additional features (CalendarBar, Event editor, QuickPad with date stamp, Magnifier, etc) in one program. Additional features: Very small size, skin system, very suitable users interface.

I've been told that buried within the system monitor for win2k is a temp chart. Perhaps a search of the MSKB?
Also, programs such as Sandra which are used for computer diagnosis will check the CPU temp in the motherboard is so equipt.

I use a program called Motherboard Monitor 5. You can get it here. It displays the CPU and Case temps in your taskbar. Here's a screenshot of mine. Your temps are fine. Mine is showing in Celsius not Fahrenheit. Mine would be around 107 Fahrenheit.

not to digress but...

Sixate,

How did you create that transparent window embedded in your desktop that shows service pack and memory usage information? If that's a realtime program that can be integrated into the backround of win2k or XP then i simply must know where i may find it!

Insane
 
fwiw, i recently tried to install mbm5 and found it a bit difficult to configure. a program i used to use is speedfan, which worked well on my old asus p4b. problem is, it doesn't work with my new motherboard, so i've been using the asus probe software.

I reccoment motherboard monitor 5, as well. Linux geeks can use lm_sensors.

$ sensors -f
w83627hf-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
Algorithm: ISA algorithm
VCore 1: +1.68 V (min = +1.40 V, max = +1.53 V)
VCore 2: +1.23 V (min = +1.16 V, max = +1.28 V)
+3.3V: +3.37 V (min = +3.13 V, max = +3.45 V)
+5V: +4.91 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V)
+12V: +12.20 V (min = +10.79 V, max = +13.19 V)
-12V: -12.03 V (min = -10.90 V, max = -13.21 V)
-5V: -5.36 V (min = -4.76 V, max = -5.26 V)
V5SB: +5.53 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V)
VBat: +3.02 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +3.60 V)
fan3: 2445 RPM (min = 1328 RPM, div = 4)
temp1: +97°F (limit = +122°F, hysteresis = +113°F) sensor = thermistor

temp2: +112.1°F (limit = +140°F, hysteresis = +131°F) sensor = PII/Celeron diode

Celeron 1200 overclocked to 1500, if you're wondering.
