    i'd agree with HW Monitor, but GPU-Z is a great tool for the watching your GPU only.

    If your GPU has Temp sensors, GPU-Z usually finds it. :)

    RealTemp for CPU and GPU-Z for GPU.

    integrated systems don't register correctly sometimes when they have HW Monitor active - do your systems have both integrated and dedicated GPUs?

    no, my specs are in my sig. GPU-Z works fine and detects temperature, but HWMonitor doesn't for some reason.

    Update your drivers to 10.5 or later, if you haven't already. Apparently, the same thing happens with the 5870 in the G73 if you don't have fairly recent drivers.

    I'm using stock 9.12, and while my temps for my 5870 aren't visible in HWMonitor, they are in HWinfo32.

    Also, give HWinfo32 a try if you haven't done so. Has some fairly high detail about parts, temps, etc.

    HWmonitor has problems with some ATI GPU/drivers combinations. HWiNFO32 works just fine though and does everything HWmonitor does. If you have an ATI card, you can also use the AMD GPU clock tool to monitor your temps and over/underclock if overdrive is disabled in your notebook like it is on the G73.
