    Just wanted to mention that HWMonitor is updated with support for the ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4650/4670. The developer (Franck) was very quick to reply to his emails and added this feature upon my request within a few days!

    I dont know how new this is, but the latest HWMonitor also shows the battery and the charge it has. Pretty handy indeed. (showed me that my battery is about to die)

    I just downloaded the latest version of HWMonitor. I had version 1.08.0 and now just got version 1.15.0. In version 1.08.0, the program wouldn't show my GPU temp but the latest version does and I'm happy about that. However, the two versions post quite different temps for the CPU. 1.08.0 shows a temp around 37C at idling while 1.15.0 shows around 32C idling. Which do I "believe" and why are they showing different temps?

    Temps for the HDD are exactly the same between both versions though.

    It works and this is what I'm using, but I wanted HW Monitor to support it :)

    I guess it's up to the mother board.

    It is indeed dependent on the motherboard and how crippled/locked the BIOS is. On my custom desktop, it shows everything like the screen shot...voltages, temps, rpms, etc.
