Free CPU temp monitor

Does anyone know of a good CPU temperature monitor for the rMB? I used to use SMC fan control on my old MBP, but it doesn't seem to work on the rMB.

Thanks in advance.

Much appreciated, thanks!

Have fun! It's a great tool to watch CPU speed and temps when you do tough work, or if it ever feels slow. And don't worry if you see high temps, these intel chips have a T JUNCTION value (max temp) of 100c. Let me know if there's anything else i can help you with!

Note, Intel Power Gadget does not work with multiple CPUs, in my case dual X5690s on a 5,1 Mac Pro. Super disappointed about that. Not sure if the Windows version does support it. I'll have to try that out.
