Just a note of
CAUTION. I have found the ACPI info to be UNRELIABLE. I have tried NASLite 2.03 on three Motherboards, only the original one showing proper CPU TEMP.
I know this has been discussed in various other posts
for example:

ACPI is not supported equally by all boards. Different boards will support different options, some more, others fewer. If any of the items are blue, then ACPI is enabled. If none are blue, then ACPI is disabled or not supported by your board.
In your case, ACPI is enabled, but your board does not support the rest of the options.
1st MoBo: MachSpeed P4M80 (Apparently trustworthy CPU Temp)
2nd Mobo: Intel 875PBZLK (no info except Power Button)
Current Mobo: SuperMicro P4SCE: Constant CPU Temp = 27, which is impossible. (And was also the wrong "steady" temp in SpeedFan, while another temp moved up and down with CPU load in WinXP.)
I checked each of these boards in WinXP using SpeedFan program, and it turns out SpeedFan also has trouble properly recognizing the TEMPs on the latter 2 boards. This is not a ServerElements fault or problem. But I wanted to point out that you should not blindly trust the ACPI info. I am not sure about "FanState" (also had trouble getting SpeedFan to not mix up the fan identification). NASLite may simply report the first sensor it finds, and that may not be the proper one.
Caveat Emptor ... or rather ...
User Beware. Unless you confirm in WinXP that "Temp1" is the CPU Temp ... don't expect NASLite to be properly reporting the CPU Temp.
Hope this helps.
