What program to use for CPU temps?

[XrayMan]

I have the Evga 680i motherboard, Evga 8800gtx video card, and the Intel E6600 cpu . I can see the Video card temp. in Rivatuner. But which program out there can I use to see the Cpu temp?

Ok, I installed Speedfan and it says my Cpu temp. is 29c. I guess thats an ok temp. I have the Zalman 9500 led on the cpu.

It's better to check your CPU temp against your ambient (case) temp. At idle, a core 2 should be equal to the case temp (unless you've up'ped the voltage quite a bit). Either way, however, 29C is fine for idle temps.


Run Prime95 for an hour and check your temps. You shouldn't get above ~ 45C or 50C. That's the best way to check to ensure everything's installed and working properly.
