in reply to Motherboard Temperature

Thanks for the help so far. I will try the suggestions as soon as I can.

My goal is to be able to log temperature from the CPU, Northbridge, HDD and several additional temperature sensors. This logging will be done over hours as the equipment warms up. Thus, perl is not the only solution, but it is a good one.

Thanks,
Bruce

    MBM5 (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) is the tool I use under XP. It provides a GUI to monitor temperatures, fan speeds and voltages. It also logs to various file formats, e. g. CSV, syslog or windows event monitor. Development has stopped in 2004, so you might get into trouble with newer hardware.

    I'd recommend not trying to reinvent the wheel with perl. The utilities section of all major freeware sites have programms similar to MBM5.
