    Well, seeing as I have had numerous heat related problems with the X600 in my 7510GX, I was wondering what programs you guys reccomend to monitor internal temperatures/fan speeds/voltages etc. I'm mainly just looking for temp monitoring and fan speed adjustments (if possible), but any information is greatly appreciated!

    I'm looking for the same thing, I wanted to try motherboard monitor 5 (MBM5) but I cannot find out who manufactured the motherboard. Technical support was not helpful, they tried to tell me that the chipset info was the motherboard make. If anyone could help it would be a lifesaver.

    the two that I have found to be the best are CPU-Z and everest. They are both free and provide lots of information (especially everest). Anyway, since it has the ability to detect gpu temp but is not telling me anything, I assume gateway didn't put sensors in. Oh well...if anyone knows otherwise please let me know

    To check if there are sensors, go into the bios.
