[CCTALK] CPU temperature monitoring

  I'm sure that most of you are aware that many of the newer Intel and clone processors are real heat generators and that it's critical to keep them with specified temperature limits. I downloaded and installed a CPU and motherboard temperture monitoring program called MotherBoard Monitor. My question is how accurate are these types of programs? On CPU intensive task my CPU frequently pegs out the temperature gauge in the MBM but the BIOS temperature monitoring never shows any indication of overheating.
