[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1600519"] I certainly grant you that there are legit reasons to be curious about it, but in normal use and for normal users there is NO NEED for a temperature monitor. I'm more than a little tired of explaining to people who install one that 1) no your computer isn't overheating, 2) yes I know 78C seems very hot *to you* but its perfectly normal 3) no you don't need to install a fan override program, 4) your fans are not malfunctioning, they're just quiet ... etc etc etc. It's just like those #*! fan programs ... people used to recommend them around here *constantly* but as it turns out they just mask issues and cause confusion ... though yes, there is always some one-percent that had a specific desire to test something and could find that useful. There are plenty of alternative apps for those who genuinely feel they would like to explore the "fun" of checking their Macs temperatures ... I have had iStat Pro as a widget for years and it offers a temp gauge (though I don't use it for that). I understand its modestly-priced payware now but if one is interested, that would be my pick.
