There is a tiny (512 byte) tool which shows the readings
of the up to 4 temperature sensors in AMD CPU. For example
my Athlon64x2ee has two sensors, one for each core... :-)

www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/amd-cpu-temperature-info-amdtemp.zip

I believe Intel CPU show the temperature relative to the
maximum temperature, so a temp tool for Intel has to use
a table of CPU types and their max temperatures, afair.

PS: Maybe somebody can keep a copy of this tool and check
which other files are only on uni-saarland and not on the
www.auersoft.eu mirror yet - in case the uni page vanishes.
With a list of differences, I could update the mirror :-)
