Getting CPU temp

[Yasar Bhatti]

Is there any way of getting the current CPU temperature other than via Insight Diagnostics?

i.e. I'm developing a software programme that needs to be able to read the cpu temperature at anytime.

I think you need a ".wmi" script like this one :

Script Center Home > Script Repository > Hardware > Basic Hardware and Firmware
Retrieving Computer Fan Information

This one retrieves fan-information, you need to adres the right object for the cpu-temperature (could be multiple!)
