You're dealing with an older i5 660 that lacks modern thermal monitoring features. Since it hasn't shown any overheating issues during your gaming sessions, you might not need immediate action. However, keep an eye on performance trends and consider checking the cooling system if temperatures rise over time.
Are you checking if your laptops' integrated graphics are detected by tools like Open Hardware Monitor or FPS Monitor? I realized my iGPUs didn’t have a sensor for a while until I discovered the appropriate software.
The BIOS will display the temperatures. It's unclear if it's still available, but reaching out to SiSoft Sandra could provide Windows-based readings.
I believe thermal monitoring features are designed for overheating management rather than directly measuring temperatures. Typically, the motherboard handles this. Occasionally, connecting the CPU fan to the incorrect port can prevent software from detecting its speed, though temperature readings may still appear.
Neither of them works on any CPU. Check HWinfo in sensor mode or Core temp for details.
