    Hi all. I'm looking to see what my core temperatures are on my D630 laptop.

    I'm running Vista, if that matters or not.

    Is there a decent small, freeware program just to see what my temps are time to time?

    Thanks.

    THanks.

    I downloaded Core Temp 0.95.

    I am getting 100 Celcius at TJunction and 48 Celcius on both cores. It does seem hot..

    It is also showing the CPU as T7200 (Woodcrest) instead of the T7500. I am sure this one is a bug, as it is showing T7500 in Vista.

    I heartily disagree and I'll tell you why. If you read my 1420 review you'll see that I tried out several different temperature programs, and Speedfan was always 15-20 deg C lower than every other program I tried. If you try 5 different programs and one of them consistently reads very different than all the others, it's a good bet that that one isn't doing it correctly.
