Recommendations for CPU temperature monitoring software?

I don't think you will be able to monitor much.  I remember when the 8300 came out there were a lot of posts on the forum about CPU monitoring and ALL the posts back then noted Dell did not enable CPU temperature monitoring on most of the consumer line, including the 8300, (except some XPS models).  If you want to monitor the CPU temperature you will have to use an external monitoring display unit and a probe and back then most were recommending a Thermatake unit.

I have a later Dimension E510 model and it too does not have CPU temperature monitoring capability.

Thanks very much, Chris!

The two Chris has recommended are the favourites of many.

But... bearing in mind what Fireberd has said of course... Core Temp and Real Temp/Real Temp Beta are both good CPU specific temp monitoring programs :emotion-5:

roke1973, you are replying to a post that is 4 years old.  However, I use Core Temp on a 2006 Dell Optiplex and it works just fine.
