I was looking for a code snippet to read the temperature of a CPU. I have a project that trashes the machine and watching the CPU temp seems prudent.

I speculate there is a Winbond chip integrated into the motherboard. So the is obviously direct calls to the chip.

Perhaps there is an API I can call?

Direct reading of the hardware is less desirable than an API as the chip may not be the same in all machines.
