Default System and CPU temperatures!

Does anyone know of a program that monitors these temps? Not the one in the
BIOS. I live in an area that gets really hot and I would like to monitor my
temps. Thanks

You can buy a thermometer and put it in the case. Cheapest
would be to by a cheap cooking dial type at the grocery
store for a few dollars. Drill a small hole in the
removable panel , careful, don't drill any holes in the
motherboard or other components. The hole could be just
above the CPU or you could make several holes near what you
think would be "hot spots" and move the thermometer around.
Stick a golf tee in the empty extra holes to keep air flow.

You can spend some more and buy an electronic thermocouple
device.
