    Ok, this should be easy for some of you to answer. I just wanna know where I can get that program that shows your laptops temperatures and the program that allows you to see how many FPS are running in games (like that thing that shows the yellow numbers at the top right as seen in images)...
    I'd appeciate it! :)

    The FPS numbers are usually built into the game engine.

    Check video settings in game to see if that is an option. Otherwise I forget how to turn that on.

    NVMonitor for temps, Fraps for framerate.

    i use rivatuner of temps, it logs a history to a graph, the fraps is good for frame rate, it also works well for screenshot and in game video capture
