    The "stock" display pannel dosnet display the GPU temp. You can either get a program that does it, or you can get NVTweak, it allows you to activate the nvidia temo display so it will show there. By default nvidia dosent show it.

    And yes your system does have temp sensors. All systems do, if they didnt how would the BIOS know how to regulate the fan speeds?

    You might need to reinstall your graphics driver and new the updated ones from laptopvideo2go.com. They usually do some tweaks and allow you to use more resolution, see temperatures, overclocking, and other cool stuff.

    I tried laptopvideo2go.com, but i still cant see my temperature. The overclocking options are available but no temps. I did use 91.45 the newest one with a new control panel and i tried 91.36 with the normal (old) control panel. Help!

    Hmm...that's weird. I have a Geforce 9300 Go and it has a temperature sensor. I don't think nVidia took it out for your series. Try installing other softwares that also have temperature readings.

    This is sorta on the same topic, is there any way to check my ATI x1600's temp? I have the basic drivers that came with it, should I upgrade 'em to see the temp sensor?
