    hey. i just downloaded hwmonitor, but it doesn't seem to be monitoring much.

    I only have my ACPI, intel mobile core 2 duo, and my hdd temps. I'm missing my ATI Graphics temperature.


    What do i do?

    Try amd gpu clock tool that's their own internal tool so it should work.

    Yep, the latest version, 0.9.8 works for me. Idling at 46C GPU, 40C/42C CPU.

    ATI's powerplay does a better job at downclocking/upclocking than Nvidia too...
