Hi, I have a Dell Dimension 4600 and I have no idea how to find out my CPU temperature on this BIOS. The bios options I do have seem to be very limited indeed. I need to find out the temperature as it seems to have been getting very hot lately.

Is there a way to find my CPU temperature any other way, or do I need to update my BIOS? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Your cpu temp will be in your bios. You can also download Motherboard Monitor 5. It will put the temp in your system tray.

If you can't get temp readings, how do you know it's "getting very hot lately"?
