Hardware Sensors Monitor (also known as
Hmonitor) is a
Windows program that allows you to
monitor the temperature of your
CPU and
motherboard, as well as the
speed of your system's
fans and the
voltage levels in your computer's power supply.
The program requires a motherboard that reports temperatures and fan speed RPMs. A list of compatible motherboards is available on the hmonitor web site.
Hmonitor creates an icon in your system tray, which can be set to display either your CPU temperature or your mainboard temperature. If the temperature reaches certain thresholds (which can be set from the configuration dialog box), the number will change from black to yellow/red. The program can also be set to sound an audible alarm if the temperature reaches crtical levels.

The program costs $29, and a free 30 day trial is available.
