Hello.

My PC has a MSI motherboard, with Presler (PentiumD) CPU. The PentiumD
core is superheated, and I need to find a utility that can monitor the
CPU temperature.

I have searched the net looking for such a utility, and on various
software sites I have visited, all have highly recommended the
following utilites:
           RightMark CPU Clock Utility ( http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml
) and
           Core Temp ( http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ )

I have downloaded both and tried them out.

Here are the results.

RightMark does run, and does correctly identity my CPU as "Presler".
But on the "CPU Temperature" row, it gives me a "N/A" result. No luck.

Core Temp, on the other hand, both the 0.96.1.0 and the 0.94.0.0
versions (I had to go to the net archive to retrieve the old version)
simply refuses to run.

0.96.1.0 gives me the following error:
         This is not an Intel "Core" Architecture based processor.
This program will not continue.

0.04.0.0 gives me the following error:
         This is not an Intel Core processor. This program will not
continue.

In other words, Core Temp totally bombed.

And I am _still_ looking for a utility that can report the CPU
temperature reading to me. Is there such a utility available?

Please help !

Many thanks in advance !
