    Is there anything that can read you computer's temperatures? Also, is there a way to control the speed of the fans?

    My is a little too warm IMO, and it would be nice if there was a way to speed up the fans. Also, I may OC my GPU sometime, and I would be a lot more comfortable about that if I could increase the fan speed.

    (oh also... when you get the blue screen that has all the white text... does that happen when your computer is being overworked? I Set my GPU to 8x AA, and then I got the screen 2x in a row. When I lowered the AA to 4x, I didn't get the problem anymore.
