    Hey all just DLed the program and not sure what my temperature control options should be set to. Does someone has a profile that works for them? I play games sometimes on it , I'm looking to get some actual readings tomorrow night when I have some time, I imagine that will be help to someone who could answer my question.

    Thanks!

    Also, on the main screen in the "Current CPU Speed" box, there is nothing there! The field is blank...and no green (CPU Speed) reading shows up on the graph at the bottom. What's the deal?

    As soon as I play my game, it shoots up to 100% CPU usage on the chart (CPU speed still reading 0 though???) and temp raises up around 65. This is consistent up into around 1hr of play. Yet to play longer to get temps after a few hrs.
