Cant get a cpu temperature signal

[lindseyhunt1090]

So i was trying to see what my cpu temperature was at because im going to hook up water cooling system and do some over clocking. but nothing will work. i have downloaded so many programs to see what my temps are but all of them either say 0 or something wierd like -128 degreese. whats up with this?

Try those or CPUID's Hardware Monitor.

i have tried them all. nothing works. its always greyed out like its not an option? could i maybe have to do something through the bios?

Please try the motherboard sensor first - Hardware monitor or PC Health this should work before the software if not then something wrong with your motherboard. But you mentioned above "128 degrees.." maybe that's in Fahrenheit. . .

when i go through the bios i get a reading.. around 28 to 30 degreese.. .its not in fahrenheit because it will iether stick at - ( negitive) 128 or - 256.. which is wierd.
