    So I've owned my DELL xps for 3 years now and I've been using i8kfangui. Very nice little program that displays the current temp of your cpu/gpu/hard drives/ram, etc, and it even shows you the highest temp it's reached.

    Is there something even remotely half as good as i8kfangui that the gateway can use to monitor cpu/gpu on the go without installing multiple programs? Thanks!

    I'm gonna go ahead and bump this again.

    Bascially, is there a good temp program for the gateway? It doesn't have to be half as functional as i8kfangui.

    MobileMeter is a great little program to do this.

    I downloaded mobilemeter, didn't work for me.

    As for everest, is there a link you can offer? You know that if I search everest on google I'll get mountain results. =p

    Actually, you get everest right on the first try if you google it. They don't offer the freeware version anymore however, but you can still download it off other sites.

    I tried everest also from your link (regular one) seems to detect hd temps and cpu temps, but it doesn't detect my gpu. How did you get it to detect yours if you did?
