CPU temperature sensor

Hi all,

I'd like to monitor my CPU temp using the thermosensor built into it. I know that software exists to poll and report this data, but I'd like to implement a front-panel temperature display completely in hardware. Basically, my question is this: Do motherboards have pins which output the temperature as an analog voltage? If not, what's the simplest way you can think of to get the CPU temperature as a signal on a wire?

Thanks.

get ur self a thermosensor with hcd display or computer output

Its cool to look at but inaccurate. I have an Ultra TEC Cooler that has a device that fastens into your case like a DVD rom drive and has a display interface that shows you this temp in F or C degrees.

Hardware monitor shows my cpu tems at 98*F OC @ 3.6 but my display device says 89*F. I trust hardware monitor more than that display device but if you simply have to have this then this is my setup:

I bought mine when it was 109.99. Im surprised to see this 149.99 cost. Dont pay this for it but if you can find for around 100.00 then its a deal.

After looking for a few minutes, I found you one for that price:

This is a decent unit, not rated the best by any means but should do you fine and give you a reading on the front of your case as you wanted.
