Alright then. Here we go ...
Quick giveawayFirst person to interpret this screenshot and say exactly what is going on is:-
A) very clever and
B) getting 50 XMG in their wallet just as soon as I know the address to send it to (assuming they are right of course).

This? You are extracting cpu temp, then make a new miner version that have a function limit cpu usage by temp
We knew it when you ask for a cpu temp tool
Let's make it fast Spexx, we're waiting for your magic
Not a new miner actually but very close. It is a bolt-on for the Miner Speed Controller and it works. It bloody works! I can control/govern the speed of the miner using the CPU core temperature as a limit. I have got it so good that I can observe changes in the speed of the miner just by opening and closing the window to the room. When the room warms up, the miner slows down. When the room cools down, the miner speeds up. Basically, if SpeedFan can detect and read a temperature sensor somewhere, I can use that to control the speed of the miner. Put that in a negative feedback algorithm and there you are. The CPU never gets any hotter than the level I set it at. Like a thermostat.
This, to me at least, has been a Holy Grail sought for a long time. Who would have thought that software designed for controlling fan speeds would be the answer? Even better is that you can choose what temperature to run at - anything you like from absolute zero to stupidly hot - you decide, the software takes care of it.
I have only had this running for a day now but it is solid. I tweaked a few things to damp out oscillations and "hunting". I will have a finished article fairly soon. To use it, you will have to install SpeedFan and select the sensor for your CPU - if it is supported. Older CPUs may not have a temperature sensor that can be queried and logged, so this is not a universal solution but virtually all modern CPUs are supported. SpeedFan is rather clever and can detect just about any temperature sensor available anywhere in the machine, like on the CPU, motherboard, GPU card, some I/O cards etc. You can get SpeedFan here:-
http://www.almico.com/speedfan.phpThe way I am using it is not actually to control any fan speeds at all (I have manual controls for that) and just use the logging feature to record the CPU core sensor output to a file. My software simply queries the log file periodically to do what it has to do. If you have nothing better to do right now, why not download it and have a play?
