Anyone know offhand, is there an alternative utility for measuring chipset and CPU temperature on P35 chipset Intel mainboards?
My experience might not be the same as everyone else's, but Intel's Desktop Utilities is consistently buggy on my DP35DP, the system tray icon tends to disappear once when the pointer moves over it (apparently meaning that the program had terminated). That might happen only once during a Windows session, maybe restarting the utility completely solves the problem, but it is annoying.

Ever try SpeedFan? Besides monitoring temperatures, it'll let you control the speed of your fans (to make your host quieter when max cooling isn't needed).

Apparently SpeedFan does not expect white text on a black background. Do you know if there is a config file to control colors for fonts?
FWIW: I have begun thoroughly enjoying a Windows XP high contrast color scheme (white text on black program window background, still with gradient title bars and other colors). Should have been using white text on a black background long ago, but maybe Windows was not cooperating well enough until now. The only other program so far that has a problem with it is the most recent version of Apple's iTunes.

First you want something that isn't flaky in always crashing (unloading). Now you're concerned about esthetics (to match your desktop theme). From one extreme to the other. I configure the system tray to hide some icons, and that includes Speedfan. No point in having it waste space on the screen, especially considering that it can generate alerts on over-temperature conditions.
White on black works for me. "Does not expect" doesn't say what actually happened when you selected a black background and white text in Speedfans options. Works for me.

It is a simple question, no need to get bent out of shape.

I didn't get bent. Well, maybe a little from the chuckling. Not all programs, especially hardware utilities, care about some Windows theme.

Because you imagine that software developers should not consider the possibility of white text on a black background?
After doublechecking, I think the only color compliance problem with SpeedFan is with the display of some buttons.

White text on a black background is more than just a theme... the idea of reading black text on a bright white background no doubt came from the age old practice of reading black text on a white piece of paper. But there is a real difference between the two. With paper, you are looking at reflected light. With a monitor, you are looking directly at a light source. Black text on a white background is like reading on the surface of a lightbulb. From that comparison, one can imagine that it is unhealthy. There have been many examples throughout human history when only after decades we realize that something we considered normal is in fact hazardous to our health.
