How to check the temperature
- Thread starter SSJpn

My understandning is it depends on the motherboard/BIOS. Some motherboards have a socket on it that will allow you to put an "intelligent" fan on the CPU. Once the fan is plugged into the motherboard, the BIOS can be told to check for things like fan speed, CPU temp, motherboard temp, etc. Some motherboards can monitor the speed of all the fans in the chassis. You can also get programs that will monitor the BIOS for these and report them to you while running your OS.
If your motherboard can't do this, you may have to go with a third-party gig that can be monitored through a serial or USB port.

This possibility should be provided with the motherboard and BIOS. if yours MB does not support it you can use special intellectual coolers which can not only freez the processor, but thus still measure temperature and can transfer this information through slots MB to special programs.
