Monitoring CPU temperature?

Hi once again,

I am clearly aware of your reluctence to change both the HS and fan unit.
However, should you find it ncessary to do so, in the end, you will find it
much easier to remove by first running the computer for a minimum of ten
minutes or longer and then turning it all off and then the removal. Doing
this will heat up the the compound underneath the heatsink, making it easier
to separate the heatsink from the cpu.
 
No longer supported unfortunately.. I haven't had any problems with Speedfan
on any system yet.. perhaps you should contact the author..

I got it from the MCI site. It was so screwed up I trashed it.

My PC was 'frozen' yesterday morning, and when I eventually got it
restarted it booted to BIOS. There I found the CPU temperature,
displayed in red, was soaring, plainly due to the CPU fan failing. (I
had re-oiled it a month or so ago, and had not yet got around to
replacing it; now paying price for that <g>.)

I'm seeking a fan replacement (separate post) but meanwhile have
re-oiled it yet again and am up and running once more.

So: is there some way to get that CPU temperature displayed while in
Windows (XP Home)? Or can that only be done from BIOS?
