How can i monitor CPU temperature using powershell or python

Hello All,

I am running a windows 10 Dell Precision T1600.  It may be old but for a desktop it is "smokin!", mainly due to the Xeon processor, SSD and 16GB RAM.

My issue is, in this hot weather, I want to monitor the CPU temperature. I want to use either Command shell, Powershell or Python (yes, I have used 'bing' and 'google' to find the answer but no joy).

There are very promising commands like:

get-wmiobject -namespace root\WMI -computername localhost -Query "Select * from MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature"   - OUTPUT object not supported.

so it tried ...

get-wmiobject -list

and ran a report for each object containing the words 'temperature','thermal', 'cpu'. Lots of output but nothing with a temperature reading.

THEN...

start wmic (from the command prompt) and enter --->temperature get win32_temperatureprobe  - OUTPUT nothing with a temperature reading.

I have not just tried the above, Python has a number of modules that interrogate the O/S for probes but nothing worked for me.

I am thinking, do I have to switch something on at BIOS level (I have the latest BIOS for this Desktop).

HELP PLEASE!
