Anyone know where I can find a program that will show the temperature of the CPU in my Sentia? I have'nt had much luck.

I haven't tried this on the Sentia.

Thanks for the suggestion but I downloaded and installed it but it looks like they dont support the Sentia's motherboard. They list them by manufacturer and AW is not listed. They have Uniwill as an option but they say "unsupported" for them. CPU-Z software (monitors cpu speed) says the motherboard is made by AW.

What is "Mobile Meter" and were can I find it? I can't find anything related to the issue at hand searching for "Mobile Meter" on the web.

Thanks.

Thanks for the link to MobileMeter. I just installed it and I dont think it works either. It says my cpu temp is 11C and doesnt move at all from that even though I hear the fan get louder from time to time and even if I stress the processer.

It does look like its picking up the hard drive temp. It moves around from 54 to 53 degrees Celcius which is about 127F which seems a bit high for a Hard drive temp.

I don't think there are any temp sensors in the Sentia. If there were I think we would see those displayed in the BIOS.

But doesnt there have to be.? Doesnt the fan kick on based on the temp of the CPU?

Also the MobileMeter software was picking up a hard disk temp, or at least it thought it was. It was around 53c when in use, and later when I came back to it when it was idle it read around 40c. The CPU temp was flatlined on 11c the entire time regardless of how active it was.
