Check CPU temp in windows?

Is there a way to monitor the cpu temperature while using the system? I have recently overclocked to 133 mhz. and would like to check periodically.

MM5 is that I was recommended on a forum I posted on earlier this week. Here is the link:

You can also just search on Google, it is a very good search engine.
Hope this helps.

You could also download a free copy of SiSoftware SANDRA. It's a full-featured diagnostics program which includes temperature monitoring. If you don't have it, do a Google search for free download links.

Thanks guys, I got the SANDRA free at C-net. Turns out my cpu temp is 40-41c even while gaming. CPU fan speed 4000 rpm. Wish I could clock more, MOBO won't let me.(shuttle w/ phoenix) unless...... RanJ

Thanks NEO, I will also check that out. As for the MOBO- I think it's maxed out on my end. There are parameters which I cannot access, Like FSB. Next sys, will go w/ a more friendly one. RanJ

NEO, Nice system, by the way. May go intel next time.
Summary: There is no display of voltage and cpu temp in my CMOS settings and I was wondering if anyone could explain how to check that a different way? ...
Summary: I highly reccomend a little program that shows you your case and cpu temp in windows with your fan speed and other usefull stats.. CpuCool available at: http://www.podien.onlinehome.de/CPUCOOL.HTM ...
