    Okay I know programs like coretemp/realtemp will show the temps of your cores and display them at the bottom bar in windows. Thats great, but i was wondering if there is a program that does the same for all the values, meaning show the temps in the bar at the bottom, shown by HWMonitor, i.e. the HDD, the GPU, and TZ00(i assume this is motherboard?)

    NHC will show my CPU (one temp) and HDD for me in sys tray.

    The only problem I have with NHC is that it doesnt even show my HDD temp at all, i must have to configure it or something.

    Anyway, the HDD temp is really the least important. I am more worried about monitoring GPU and CPU temps. The motherboard ones too.

    I don't think NHC works in x64, since it is not mentioned as supported on their website.

    I guess GPU is absent mainly due to the fact that mine is integrated (GMA 950)

    This is what I would recommend to get CPU, GPU and Hard drive temps.

    I use RightMark CPU Clock Utility to get my CPU temperature. I use RivaTuner to get my GPU temperature. I used HD Tune to get my hard drive temperature. I know it's three programs, but I don't know of any way to get all three temps in the task bar with one program.
