Good CPU temp monitor Software

core temp for most newer processors (Socket 939/775 or newer). It will display in the sidebar for vista and 7.
 
I like coretemp mainly for its simplicity and small size, but it gives bogus readings on one of the computers I have to deal with whereas speedfan seems to work always (of course, I'm not the world). Speedfan is really handy with all the cool things that come with it, but it's a bit "cluttered" for just plain temperature monitoring.
 
I recommend Speccy. It not only give readings of your CPU temp, but RAM info, GPU temp, motherboard, monitor, anything and everything. But there's no function to see your highest recorded temp. I've never seen my CPU above 35c so I have no need for that. I have GPU-z for temp monitoring.
 
plus one for HWmonitor. Check the link in my sig.

plus it gives readings for everything else (HDD, GFX, fan speeds, voltages etc)

also, give current temps, min temps and max temps

HWmonitor is the worst for giving false readings.

Real temp for Intel CPU's, speedfan or core temp for AMD's.
 
I have realtemp but I have no idea if it's accurate, it always says my temps are low (40C)< on my CPU even when it's at 4.4GHz
