    Hi all,

    Just got my R2, very very pleased to say the least. A lot smaller than I thought!!

    I use to use notebook hardware control on my old laptop for controlling the CPU muliplier and keeping an eye on temps with my old laptop.

    Which is the best one to use for this little guy?

    I use Everest Ultimate. I only have 0.9V going on my R1 right now, and that's on overclock. I'm pretty sure that the voltage is adjusted accordingly automatically when you overclock in the BIOS.

    Here's a screen shot of all CPU temps and the current voltage in my system tray:

    I use Core Temp for monitoring my temperatures. It is a pretty small file that doesn't take up a lot of resources on your computer. Core Temp
