Would anyone have any idea how to go about writing an application to display/monitor CPU temperature?

I'd like to write something that displays the temperatures as detected by any thermal sensor(s) on the motherboard.

I think there's some x86 instruction for that. Go look it up in your big Intel volume 2 ;)

A search for "Temperature" revealed no clues.

Your motherboard manufacturer should have some utilities you can use for monitoring temperature. Unless you have a really old board or almost-unknown brand... in that case there's some  generic utilites around the web you can try. I think www.tweakfiles.com or www.guru3d.com has something.

I want to write my own, though :)
I've tried disassembling 2 monitors already but both are scrambled. I would PEDump them but one of my harddrives is currently out of my PC, and I can't be bothered to re-download it, just figured someone here might have played with this before.

Actually, look up "Thermal Monitoring" in volume 3.
