Josh. You will probably get more information directly from the utility's respective homepage. I use Core Temp which will present you with a real-time continuous measure of your computer processor's temps. I use my jaws cursor and read the temperature of each processing core. Core Temp will give you the highest temp as well as the lowest while also conveying the average temp. I don't know if Core Temp gives you the average temperature of the system unit as a whole as the name implies it only measures the temperature of the cores in your processor. since it identified the processor on your computer, it probably knows where to query the processor for this information.

Gerald, I have been following this thread a little bit, but between core temp and speed fan is one better than the other or are they equal when it comes to a comparison? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald Levy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 27, 2010 1:10 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] daily information > > You can download free Core Temp at: > > http://download.cnet.com/Core-Temp-32-bit/3000-2094_4-10794077.html > > Gerald > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Wayne Scott" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, November 27, 2010 12:19 PM > Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] daily information > > >> Are these programs free?
