    To find the temperature, do what Dinz said. I'd suggest an electric thermometer, they're more accurate. BUt don't use your palm. It'll singe you.

    To find the voltage, I THINK it's in the chip documentation. theyr'e usually around +/- 12 volts.

    i think he means he wants to know how to retrieve it using VB, which i have no idea how.

    you might have to use C++ to do that....not sure though.

    um...actually there are sensors on most modern motherboards that measure the CPU temp, motherboard temp, fan speed, etc. for example, my current CPU temp is 42C, motherboard temp is 22C, and CPU fan sped is 7500rpm.

    yep Asus Probe (came with my mobo). it's not a very good one, but the others i've found are either not that good either, or are shareware and i can't find any cracks.

    All new hardware monitoring devices use the SMBus to detect each devices' status. The SMBus is a serial bus designed mainly for devices inside the computer to communicate to each other.

    What you are looking for would be DLLs that let you access the SMBus.
