You have to register to download SpeedFan version 4.34b38 but it has no problem reading the on chip digital thermal sensors in the E8x00 processors. If you have the problem where the temperature on one or both of the cores is not changing between idle and full load then the problem is that the sensors in your processor are stuck which is common. Not great quality control by Intel but as long as the DTS sensors start moving before your processor reaches TjMax then they're doing the job that they're designed to do.
