    Nvidia GT540m

    Locks up GPU-Z so I can't get temps from my GPU, stock or OC'd....seems to happen when I switch from Intel to Nvidia chip...is there another solution that logs?

    That's weird it works fine for me. I'm running it off furmark 1.9.0 (gpu-z is bundled tgt with it)

    HWmonitor won't show my gpu unless I have a game running or some other program running that is using the GT 540M while HWmonitor starts up and initializes. I really like SIW. It shows temps at any time, and tells you a whole bunch of stuff about your computer that you may not have known. Temps are accurate as well.

    Buy SIW Pro or Download SIW Freeware

    I'll give that a shot, I noticed that with CUPID that it didn't show up but for one game that was running in a window to start...Street Fighter IV. With the drivers from the other thread and overclocked to 980/760 I ran that on Max with AA off and I was getting roughly 70fps.

    Temps got to 80C during that benchmark, but I dont' know how long they stayed there, as CUPID only shows min and max.
