    What are the best temperature program to use for the G73JH because I am planning to use it for my rainmeter. I have a CPU/GPU observer gadget but that can't be used for the rainmeter. i think...

    I have found that rainmeter normally uses speedfan for most of the skins that I have downloaded because it is easy to implement and select which temperature reading but you normally have to specify which temperature it falls under in your list. For instance on my JH Speedfan has:

    HDD1 0
    HDD2 1
    ACPI 2
    CPU1 3
    CPU2 4

    You have to then enter which address (number) relates to which temperature by editing the skin code.

    It should explain this in the readme of the skin or on the skin website page normally. I find some good skins on DeviantArt just search under Rainmeter.

    Probably going to need to custom code a skin to pick up the GPU temp from another program, I personally am keeping my GPU observer gadget because its cool :)

    Yeah I'm customizing skins right now, but I don't know what program to use for observing the GPU temp. Kurolionheart knows how, but I think he's still not online :| have you seen his wallpaper its simple and clean has temperatures in it @_@

    Yup its quite simple stuff just to take the figure from a program and display it in the skin but im a hardware man not a software im afraid if it doesn't have a Run or an Install button im screwed ;)
