Is it possible to check the current temperature of CPU through software (control panel, task manager, third party service) and whether the computer is overheating? I am connecting to a computer remotely and running CPU intensive code utilizing multiple cores through parallel computing and need to keep a check on the CPU temperatures.

I'm connecting to the machine through a Windows 7 remote desktop session and the remote machine is also running on Windows 7.

What os is the desktop running? What sort of remote access do you have? We don't have sufficient data to help you. – Journeyman Geek Jun 29 '12 at 11:21
Thanks @JourneymanGeek. Added OS info to the question. – Aziz Jun 29 '12 at 11:48
@Aziz: Have you tried HWMonitor (cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html)? – James Jun 29 '12 at 11:51
@James I haven't. But it looks useful on a first glance. I'm going to explore it now. Thanks – Aziz Jun 29 '12 at 11:59

CPUID will monitor temperature and does not require installation.
