    I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I'd like to know what the rest of my fellow M17x owners are running. I see people using software inside of windows that monitor cpu temps and speeds, core usage, fans and a host of other things. There is probably a few different one's but what should I be looking at to download to track what and how my machine is performing? Thanks.

    I'm not even sure what you call this type of software. Is it CPU Resource Software or CPU Monitoring Software? I dunno.

    Thank you. CPU-Z was one of the one's I was looking at but didn't know if it was one of the more desirable programs the current Alienware Guru's were using these days. From what I can tell CPU-Z does not measure temp either, no?

    HWinfo64 looks like it does measure temp in Celsius.
