    I see many people use lots of different software to monitor there systems in game. I have two external monitors hooked up to may lappy. Is there any reason i shouldn't just use Task Manager to monitor my CPU and Memory usage in game?

    Thanks.

    no not really, the only thing is that you won't see temps but other than that it works just fine for monitoring usage...... you enjoying that new CPU?

    I use 2 monitors on my desktop.

    Coretemp + GPU-Z will continue to update temps during gameplay. (GPU-Z has a checkbox in the "Sensors" tab for continuous refreshing.)
