    What is the program that most people on these boards use to monitor cpu/hd/gpu temps? Also, do I install just the most recent Intel Matrix Storage Drivers?

    Best to stick too Hwmonitor as everybody here uses it and that makes it easier to compare.

    I use HWMonitor but it doesn't show HD Temps. Perhaps it's my system, my HD's, or because I just don't know how to set up the program.

    Any guesses?

    That seems to eliminate one of the three. Any idea why "it don't"?

    PS: Like your sig. That is, all but the Macbook part. :)

    could you do a screen shot and post it on here so we can see what it shows.

    it should be like this:

    I could not see my temps with hdtune , I had an intel chipset , i changed from the intel sata controller driver to the standard microsoft one then the temp showed in hdd tune, might work for hwmonitor ,but it normaly best to use the newest inlet driver than the old Microsoft one for performance

    HWmonitor (as well as 99% of all other programs) will NOT show HDD temps for RAID arrays.
