I'd suggest MenuTemperature but I think it uses SpeedIt as well, which might be the problem. SpeedIt was only released for 10.4 and they only mentioned a 10.5 release being delayed way back when the GM copies first shipped for Leopard, with nothing added after the 10.4.10 release on InCrew's site.
The only other way I know to read system temps is with CoolBook, which reads system temp, speed, and voltage; registered it also controls voltage and clock settings. You might have some luck as the developer released updates right up to 10.5.2 so it's at least been maintained.
Everything bad said about this app. in previous reviews is true: worst of all, I can't make this launch, when I try all I get is a "Applescript failed to launch" window. NExt worse: this needs a localized version for the US which displays temperatures in F rather than C.
You can change app to display Fahrenheit and even Kelvin and it should display it in the menu bar (how I most commonly use the program) after applying.
Why would a foreign developer need to convert into Fahrenheit when the ENTIRE WORLD, excepting USA, uses Celsius? You must be American. If you ever finding yourself needing to know if it is hot or cold, and the only thermometer is in Celsius, use this.
Well I would imagine he might be American (though some people in other countries use Fahrenheit despite Celsius being official), it's clearly stated that he was looking for U.S. localization, which is a moot point as it was supported in the options.
If he were still looking for something with automatic detection, MenuTemperature supports automatic adjustment according to International Preferences.
So the point is moot. It's way more fun to beat a dead horse anyways.
But that aside, does anyone know if there's a fix to the Leopard issue that won't let it work? My processor is trying to commit suicide and I would like to watch it in detail
I second the reqest to let it run only in the menu bar - it's unnecessary to have it take space up on the dock when the information is already in the bar. If folks feel they need it on the dock as well, could it be made an option?
The window no longer remembers where it should be from one launch to the next. If I remember correctly, that was one of the fixes in the previous update, wasn't it?

Or does anyone know of another app that does work with the new MBPs?

I actually use iStat for my temp stuff. What I was actually wanting is something that shows what speed my cores/processor is running.
Is there anything else that does that?

C=(5/9)(F-32) or to compare, -40 F = -40 C
