Anyone got suggestions for any free utilities that can monitor internal/cpu temperature?

Not free, but they are all pretty inexpensive. You can search for them both in the App Store and MacUpdate. See the following re: the latter:


How to safely use MacUpdate to download malware-free software:


This site has both free and paid membership accounts. If you have neither then some software will be distributed as an installer wrapper that includes adware/malware you may not want. Such a download may appear on your computer like this: Firefox Installer.dmg. Delete the download and return to the main site where you will find a direct link to the developer's website. Use that link from which to download the software.


To avoid such downloads from MU just create a free membership account. Log into your account prior to using the site. This will avoid the installer wrappers and downloading adware or malware. I continue to use their site without any problems.


If you prefer not to create a membership account then note that on the download page under the price box will be the link to the developer’s site. Use that link and download the software directly from the developer circumventing the use of MU altogether.


You may be sent warnings from sone users that warns that the site is “dangerous.” In fact my list of adware tools has no links to MU. His warning is an exaggeration and it is false. Learn the facts. You merely need to use the site intelligently. Support the site but do so wisely - establish a free or paid membership to avoid problems with malware. Don’t pay attention to other users who warn you away with hyperbole and rhetorical insults.

One or more links have been posted in this thread to the "macupdate" website. Do not follow the links, and never download anything from that site. It intentionally distributes OS X malware by packaging some free applications in an unnecessary and malicious "installer."

All software should be downloaded directly from the developer's website or from the App Store. Don't trust any site such as "macupdate" that aggregates download links.
