Yes. To monitor temperature, you'd need to add a sensor - Thermaltake,
Zalman, Coolermaster and most of the other cooling system makes produce
them.

I searched on zalmans homepage and did not find any product.

Only a sensor did not help me, where can I connect a sensor on the
Dell motherboard to read out the temperature?

I think only an external solution works (sensor near the cpu, display
outside the case, monitoring via mbm definitly not possible)...

That is correct - you'd need a kit with a display and sensor.
There is no place to connect one to the mainboard.
