    hwinfo32 has a gadget too, although it doesn't exactly qualify as "cool" :)

    Bo I saw your other thread, great idea to monitor temps even if the lockups are not heat related.
    Thanks to this thread I am back with GPU Observer for temp only but fan speed never seems correct, HWINFO for more accurate details, downside you have to launch the app first for the gadget to work. I have a bat file in quick launch so I can start with one click.
