SUMMARY
Most of the information that the Win32_TemperatureProbe WMI class provides comes from SMBIOS. Real-time readings for the CurrentReading property cannot be extracted from SMBIOS tables. For this reason, current implementations of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) do not populate the CurrentReading property. The CurrentReading property's presence is reserved for possible future use.

The structure of the SMBIOS Temperature Probe group is type 28, as documented in section 3.3.29 of the following SMBIOS specifications:

This group is defined as follows in SMBIOS 2.2:

WMI provides this information in the Win32_TemperatureProbe class.
