Funny, but try to be a little helpful.;) Without a temp sensor the only way to read the temps is with your own sensor. Hardware stores and some auto parts stores carry infrared thermometors, which work very well and some are pretty inexpensive. You could also get a wired temp sensor. I have a Antec HDD cooler with a digital readout on it that has two attatched that I picked up a Circuit City for twenty bucks. I would go with the infrared though, it is very, very handy for reading any temp you point it at! As for adding a fan, try to find a cheap aftermarket heatsink/fan and get some thermal adhesive to stick it on. :)
