    I've been using CPUZ for the longest time, and ever since I overclocked my M9750 T7200 to 2.33 GHZ, I have no idea what my CPU temps are! So far everthing seems stable but when I do play games my 7950GTX video card to to around 80-89degrees using GPUZ. Anyone know what my CPU's temperature is? Is there another software out there that is free and can monitor that? Thanks!

    CoreTemp is good as well. You can minimize it and the core temps are displayed in the systray.

    Also, since you have a C2D, checkout the Undervolting Guide to reduce the CPU load temps.
