    There is a key combination to turn on the fan to max with Fn+(something). I'm on Sager NP8150-S1 laptop. Anyone know?

    Fn + 1

    Not Fn + F1.

    Fn + The number 1.

    Thank you! Which program do you recommend me to get to monitor GPU/CPU usage including the speed, temperature, etc? Don't want ones with viruses or etc lol

    Just as a safety measure, go ahead and download Microsoft Security Essentials.

    As for the widget...hmm....there are so many to choose from...PM johnnyman27, he has a cool widget just for that on his machine....I'm not sure, but I think it is W7 based (aka from Microsoft).

    HWMonitor is good for temps; if you want it all I don't know. But during gaming, Playclaw's overlay is able to monitor per-core temps and load for CPU, and temp, load and frame-buffer utilization for GPU. It's pretty nice.
