Best free program for temperature readings

[mrochester]

Hi all

Following on from another thread in the Windows section (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18377683), I was chatting away to my friend last night when all of a sudden his laptop just switched off completely. He said it was very hot to touch. As such, I'm heading down the overheating route ATM. Can anyone recommend the best free program to monitor temperature readings of internal sensors?

Many thanks

Hwmonitor

RealTemp, it's the only one I trust

CoreTemp because it works with my desktop gadget.

They all take the data from the same sensors so I can't see it making that much difference.

Real Temp
Core Temp
CPU-Z

Yup, another vote for Coretemp- as it works with the 'All CPU' Windows gadget, and just hides in the system tray...

I use easytune, seems to work well.

I use HWmonitor and CoreTemp.

Coretemp for cpu, msi afterburner for gpu's. I use the lcd on a g15 for monitoring cpu temps, afterburner osd for gpu's. Very handy for keeping an eye on things when ganing.

+1 for HW Monitor, great tool and shows lots of different temps.
