Is there a program out there that will tell me the Temp of the processor in my HP DV4 laptop? I want to see what the temps look like so I can decide if I want to use Artic Silver on the HS or not.

Thanks in advance.

Same ones that would work with a desktop work with a laptop 99% of the time.

Realtemp/Coretemp for Intel and Coretemp for AMD.

WOW, I am at 60C at less than a 25% load. Looks like I'll be changing the thermal paste soon.................

It's probably not just your thermal paste, it's your heat sink too, there might be a giant hamster in there.
