    Motherboard drivers generally come with them... Asus ones do anyway...
    I'm sure you could google it somewhere.

    theyre not accurate. they measure the temp by voltages (all the sensor is is a variable resistor that changes to heat) and the supplied voltages never stay the same in that environment. if you want accurate go with a digital meter like the aerogate 2 I have. 4 channel temp monitor and fan controller

    Yeh, you need better monitoring hardware to get a more acurate reading...
