Hey YA? Can someone please suggest me a processor temp monitoring software for XP?

hi,

I just recently took apart my laptop and cleaned out my heatsink, vents and the cooling fan. It has SO much dirt, lint and what not stuck, it was as good as not having one.

But, now I have noticed that my cooling fan shuts of by itself every now and again. I hear this is common. But it still worries me a bit. I have no money to invest into a buying a new laptop, let alone a used one.

So, question is, does anybody here know of a good, standard core processor temperature monitoring software that I can use. I have Win XP. Its an HP Pavilion dv5000 laptop.

Thank you very much for your time, for clicking on my question and for your answers.

(I need a good software, not a spamware. One that you have tried and used.)

Update:

Thanks Zach. This is perfect. small footprint and fast and very good interface. Thank you. Excellent answer and a great help

    I have used CoreTemp for multiple PCs, and it works great. You can leave it on minimized, and it will show the temperature of each core in the cpu on your toolbar so you don't have to open any window to be checking.
