    Hi everybody. I´m new to laptop gaming. What program do you think suits best for monitoring fanspeed, heat etc on my G74SX?

    Can i use ASUS GPU Tweak version 1.10 for my Nvidia?

    hwinfo never showed fan speed for me. Only percentages. I use it for monitoring temps and stuff. Useful.

    Don't think it does fans, but I use HWmonitor from the CPU-Z people, and also GPU-Z (a product from a different group, despite the obviously similar name). You don't even have to install CPU-ID's stuff, which is awesome.

    HWmonitor shows very little info compared to hwinfo. I used to use hwmonitor thinking it was hwinfo and after getting the "real" hwinfo, i can never go back to cpuz or gpuz or hwmonitor.
