    So I just "upgraded" from 1.14 to 1.15 and now I have 4x the amount of numbers to figure out?! What are all these new sensor numbers???

    Is any of this new stuff useful? :confused:

    I'm on an M1530. The battery stuff might be useful had I put my batt. in.

    Very nice program, Core i7 720QM is using 15 watts idle with a maximum of 55 watts. No fan speeds for me, though..

    Your GPU seems a bit warm for idle...

    It's not at idle. I was running a benchmarking tool in the background to see which of the sensor's were actually functional.

    Though at idle my gpu temps very from 50C to 60C which I think is normal for this computer (correct me if I'm wrong). This is without the cooling pad running.
