    What is a good tool to monitor the temps on my new NP8660? I'm not thinking there are any issues, I just think it would be nice to see how warm things are in there. :)

    Here's what I use:

    -Hard drives and ACPI temperature: SpeedFan
    -Graphics temperature and current clock speeds of GPU (to ensure powermizer is on/off): RivaTuner
    -CPU Temperature: CoreTemp
    -Voltage monitor and just to use as a reminder of what's inside my machine: CPU-Z

    For all in one:
    - HWmonitor
    - Everest (Home or Ultimate edition)
    - Notebook Hardware Control
    - SpeedFan (great for desktops, sucks for notebooks)

    For CPU:
    - RMclock
    - CoreTemp
    - RealTemp

    For GPU:
    - RivaTuner (the best for in-game monitoring)

    Note: RivaTuner can actually monitor EVERYTHING if you install the plug-ins when setting up the Hardware Monitor.

    So RivaTuner actually is the best temp monitoring for a gaming system since it will monitor everything and show up in-game with the OSD (on-screen display) in the corner of the screen.
    .... you will have to get Everest Ultimate (to enable the "shared memory" option) for RivaTuner to monitor CPU temps.
