5670, monitoring cpu temp

Is there any program which can monitor my cpu temperature?
There has to be a sensor somewhere since bios can tell the fans when to turn on (usually when it gets hot).

No...

The Motherboard needs hardware specific to this feature of Intel CPU's and unfortunately the motherboard in the Sager does not have this feature...

You will not be able to monitor CPU temperature using a program but you might be able to fix a transducer directly to the heatsink or even the CPU...perhaps one that does not need contact...like an IR thermometer...

I cant think of any other way of doing it.

how the hell does the chipset know when to turn the fans on and at what speed then?

CPU temp

motherboard monitor will do it if u can figure out the correct diode. I am having the same problem because i cant figure out which is the correct one. There are so damn many to chose from. Yes the system must know what temp to turn the fan on at, however that does not necessarily mean that the temp is output anywhere. Basically if it doesnt tell you in the bios there is a good chance that there isnt a viable way to find out. You would think that with modern computers there must be some way to tell. I dono. Please let me know if there is any way that I could be of any less help!

Actually, I don't think the temp monitor is hooked into the chipset at all! I was looking at the 8887 manual the other day and it appears to be a primitive thermosister circuit, seperate from higher level controls.

james is right, i remeber reading a post about this a little while ago, there is a thermister or something like it, but it can't be accessed so motherboard monitor can't be used

No, not cheap. Standard operating procedure for laptops. It takes power to run the extra circuitry, so they don't put it the system. if you read the white papers on the chipset it will show that it is an internal sensor not necisarrily on the smbus.
