    I think some of those changes are due to the 180.42 display drivers rather than these systems tools (such as the PhysX properties).

    It's not that hard to find the changelog:

    nVidia System Tools with ESA Support v6.03

    The NVIDIA System Tools installation package includes:

    1. NVIDIA Performance Group (v6.03.06.00) add-on to the NVIDIA Control Panel

    * nForce MCPs
    – Enables system tuning and profiles for clocks, voltages, timings, and fans
    – Includes support for Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) components
    – Displays detailed system information
    * GeForce GPUs
    – Enables GPU overclocking

    2. NVIDIA System Monitor (v6.03.04.00) standalone application

    * nForce MCPs
    – Enables system monitoring for clocks, voltages, timings, and fans
    – Includes support for Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) components
    * GeForce GPUs
    – Enables GPU temperature monitoring

    3. NVIDIA System Update (v2.00.44.05) add-on to the NVIDIA Control Panel

    * Automatically checks for nForce and GeForce driver updates
    * Adds ability to update your system bios

    I updated to the new System tools, not much change overall. I'm using the 178.24 driver from Dox so the "Update your system drivers" wasn't useful for me.

    You only need the Performance group. HWMonitor takes care of the thermal monitoring.
