Processor temperature monitor and fan controller

So first off let me say that I am the proud, happy new owner of an m1330, and absolutely love it. But on that note, i have installed very little, pretty much adding what I need as I come to need.

But I do have the nvidia model which is prone to overheating and failing, so I am very worried about the lifespan. It has seen a year of use on a desk, not doing much, and has been perfect. But just to be safe, I have heard about processor temperature monitors and fan controls, but do not know where to begin. So what programs are there, and how/ where to I get them to monitor my usage?

Or am I worrying too much? I do not want to overclock, benchmark, or anything. Just normal usage, doubtfully playing games. But maybe watching movies. Or not.

Thanks!

 

Hi,
I don't know if this is the sort of thing you want but look at HWMonitor here

 

CPUID Hardware monitor is ur best bet for accutate readings... will also show battery capacity etc...
