    I'm currently using CPU Usage and GPU Meter Gadgets for Windows 7. The GPU Meter doesn't seem to work properly. Does anyone have any recommendations for another Gadget I can use?

    This one is GREAT for monitoring Temps and CPU/RAM usage:

    Core Temp

    If you don't want or need to monitor your temps, than go here as they have everything else you need:

    <s> This one seems to work pretty well with my 6630M.</s>

    This one seems to be even better.

    Is there a widget that can monitor CPU temps without the need to install additional program(s)?
