Motherboard Monitor, which you find HERE. If there is a tiny bit of geek in you, you may want to spice it up by installing CoolMon on top of it, that excellent piece of freeware you'll find HERE.

Or there's SpeedFan. Aside from the usual fan speed monitoring & CPU & system temps, it can also monitor the temp of some HDDs, & on some motherboards can vary the speed of the fans [like a fanbus] & change the FSB.

I had one problem with Speedfan (or at least had when I tested it a few months ago). My HD's are attatched through the HPT controller (on an ABIT KG7-R) and Speedfan cannot read the temps from my IBM harddrives which supposedly are supported.
CoolMon, its just geek magic, configurable text right on your desktop. Mmmm... It doesn't read the HD temps though.
