    Use GPU-Z? Or HWMonitor? Or HWiNFO32? Or...anything.

    Thanks for that! I downloaded GPU-Z..but i was wondering if there was an all in one CPU and GPU temp reader and also preferably similar to CoreTemp in which when minimized it shows the temps on the taskbar which is awesome so i dont have to constantly reopen/close the application.

    Mwmonitor32, monitors all your temps, but I don't think it will display them on your task bar only. It would be nice though. I'd like a in game temp gauge like Fraps does FPS.

    HWInfo32 will do it, but I don't think it'll do taskbar.

    OP what you're referring to is ATI overdrive, it lets you OC the gpu and monitor GPU temp and usage
    It has to be unlocked through a modded vbios as Asus has locked it out of their vbios, if you really want to use it,you can use chastity's OverDrive unlocked vbios and flash that..
    but as other people have pointed, there are other apps such as MSI Afterburner which have similar funtionality and you dont need to flash a vbios for it so i suggest you use that instead..

    no, afterburner only reads GPU temps.

    I'm still searching for a CPU taskbar app. If somebody has one, post would be appreciated.

    Realtemp does cpu's temps in the taskbar. Might not be accurate but its close enough.

    RealTemp

    I use CoreTemp. Its been awesome. Having a quad core, i have 4 different colored values on my taskbar until i close it. Pretty cool.

    I guess the application im after has yet to exist..so at this point it seems the only way for Taskbar GPU + CPU temp values is to use CoreTemp/RealTemp and Afterburner.

    I love this one... fully customizable too :)

    SFKilla - HWMonitor Meter

    You need 3 things for this to work...

    1. CPUID Hardware Monitor
    2. Hardware Monitor system tray (should be linked on the site)
    3. gadget to get the full effect.

    Its easy to install, and you can put whatever you want up there :)

    If you have no issues, SFkilla's is awesome.

    But a decent replacement that ive found is actually CoreTemp and GPU Observer. The former sits on the taskbar and the latter is on the sidebar.
