Hello Vikranth,

Intel doesn'texpose these APIs,however, there is a program - http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/active.htm that can be used if its an Intel motherboard that will give this information.

There is aACPI spec where you can get temp info www.acpi.info and here is info on accessing the driver (ACPI.sys) www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/wmi/wmi-acpi.mspx. It looks like Microsoft doesnt provide an interface so one would need to developed - maybe that's what you had in mind.

I hope this helps,

Jim A
