Get CPU Temperature With PowerShell
function Get-Temperature {

$currentTempKelvin = $t.CurrentTemperature / 10
$currentTempCelsius = $currentTempKelvin - 273.15
$currentTempFahrenheit = (9/5) * $currentTempCelsius + 32
return $currentTempCelsius.ToString() + " C : " + $currentTempFahrenheit.ToString() + " F : " + $currentTempKelvin + "K"
}
# Save in your c:\users\yourName\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\modules\ directory
# in sub directory get-temperature as get-temperature.psm1
# You **must** run as Administrator.
# It will only work if your system & BIOS support it. If it doesn't work, I can't help you.
# Just type get-temperature in PowerShell and it will spit back the temp in Celsius, Farenheit and Kelvin.

Get-WmiObject : Not supported

It depends on the hardware you have, some will not have this object.
