    You can just use GPU-z and enable logging, unless you insist on being able to see your temps while gaming. The log does a good job of logging time and max temp though, so unless you're overheating, there shouldn't be much need for being able to see your temps while gaming.

    I want to see it live like the fps in fraps. Do you think there's an app for that?

    MSI afterburner
    just select the gpu temp to show in osd in settings>monitoring and make sure to run the osd server
    then it'll show the gpu temp in the osd whenever in a game just like fraps

    There is GPU Observer , it is a Windows Gadget ,but it works fine for me. I can see the temp anytime I want while playing. But I do have to shift out of the game to see it on the desktop. Not great but works.

    I second that. I also use the MSI Afterburner tool to display my gpu-temp while gaming. It displays it in a purple overlay in the left-top corner, looks good.

    As other pointed MSI afterburner, or EVGA precision will allow you display in game temp monitoring (but you have to enable in the setup) among other things like FPS, Clocks, GPU load, etc, just be warn that some games like COD4 had issues with this, reporting it like 3rd party hack, so i avoid it, but for the most part it works fine.
