hd tune can do this… for the most part monitors the Hard drive temp… should give you a good idea where you sit interms of temperature… The laptop manufacturer may make a utility for this to give cpu temp and what not… but the easiest thing with a laptop… IF it feels hot it is hot, and if it feels hot its not good for the laptop, so buy a laptop cooler (base) ---

Depends on what sensors you do or don’t have. Do they typically put temp sensors on laptop hardware? Also, try this software, takes a little time to configure, but worth it: [http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=311](http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=311) ---

BikerFry: All new machines come with a variety of temp sensors, proc, HD, and Bat at least. Bat and Proc are the most important, hot batteries 'splode and hot processors smell funny at about 80C
