How do you know the temp?

[MonicaT]

I know this is a really basic question but how do y'all know what the temperature of your CPU's and all that?

The two best ways to get this info is in the bios and or from the mother board makers utility

In your bios you should see an area to view / monitor system health

Depending on what system you have and the bios installed..
The software to monitor your cpu/motherboard temps should be on the original cd included with the system
Or download it from the makers web site.

A few other programs are out there that will also do the job.
