    The latest version of Speedfan should be able to do it.

    Everest Home Edition will read the GPU temp and fan speed...but the hacked (or updated, not sure) version of Speedfan will now work without Everest, so that's probably better, since you can use it to control the fans.

    I'm using the modified Speedfan that was posted before, it's version 4.27 beta 10. I'm assuming that 4.27 on the official site incorporates the changes.

    Nope...Remote2 is the GPU temp...it should be about 64ish at idle maybe lower, at like 62 if it's running cool at stock speeds...

    i don't think anybody really knows, but it is my strong opinion that local is your north-bridge and temp1 is not a real temperature (which is why you'll see rapid none-linear skips, from temperatures like 36 to 56 to 64 and instantly back to 36, haha) but rather some other pulse modulated sensor that happens to be picked up by speedfan (perhaps something to do with charge rate of battery or whatever).
