I'm suddenly very interested in knowing the temperature of my nearly 8years+ (maybe more) 1st generation of p4 rig. Specs are as below on my siggy.

Recently I just clean the still running S478 heatsink and and applied new AS5 coating. However, the usual softwares like Speedfan, Everest cant detect the CPU temperature.

I'm wondering, does the 1st generation of P4 CPU equipped with CPU temperature sensor? if yes, do you guys know any old-school software that might help to detect CPU temp?

d0od, ur Q more likely to [Hardware Questions & Answers] section
nuthin' to be done with Overclocking..

opps... my bad...but this involves temp detecting software or maybe temperature sensor devices. maybe sifus out there will know something about 1st generation P4 temperature

well, if speedfan, everest etc cant detect ur processor temp., most probably ur boards didnt come with sensor

so...if that's the case, then there's no way i can detect my cpu temp?

if not mistaken laa.. need to use those digital sensor(hardware), need to buy it

wah..have to go through so much trouble....mmm.... anybody out there know the average temperature for 1st Gen P4 CPU?

well u can use PCWIZARD for a try

PC Wizard eh...ok...will give it a try soon!!

i'm using Everest and no problem to detect my willmate P4 1.7G ..........
maybe your mobo doesn't come with a temp sensor

Socket 478 should provide thermal sensor though

This is weird, all P3 and P4 onwards have a temp sensor built into the processor itself. Thats why they'll never die of overheating, even if you pull the HSF off it will autmatically shut off when it reaches a certain temp no matter what motherboard you use. I find it odd that even everest and speedfan can't detect the temp.
