    Hi Guys,

    I wanted to ask if anyone would recommend a reliable temperature monitoring software. I am currently using HW monitor and I am a litte curious as to its reliability because it registers my SSD at 0 C. Is that even possible? Could by thermal sensor be off?

    I just bought a Zalman NC1000 and I am trying to gauge how much (if any) the temperature gets lowered.

    Thanks!

    There are a ton of programs you can use. I use Notebook Hardware Control. I don't have any Dell system software installed, so this is a good way to monitor battery usage and temperatures. It monitors HD and CPU temperature, along with battery charge and discharge wattage

    For the GPU, I use ATITool.
