    Pat I am using HWINFO32 gadget (hw32_362). It is easy to configure, but you must have the program running to use the gadget.

    Wow awesome I was looking for one as well, but didn't think to post. The HWINFO32 one is great, however; looks like crap. I haven't seen the one that KuroLionheart posted, I'll check it out tonight.

    I use AMD clock tool to monitor GPU temps, I know not the best but it gives me an idea and I use HWinfo for more in depth monitoring.

    +1 for GPU monitor.... but the temperature reading is lower by ~5 deg compared to GPU-Z. But it works, and it looks awesome.
