    Nice little program! Some questions though...

    1) Why does my CPU Clock throttles up and down?
    2) What is dynamic switching?
    3) How to view the temperature of the GPU? I got the temp of the CPU but not the GPU

    1. The CPU throttles up and down because you set it to dynamic switching.
    2. Dynamic Swtiching makes the CPU throttle up and down.
    This is good because when the CPU is not used it clocks down and keeps cool and uses less battery/power, and when you run a program that uses the CPU it clocks up gives you the extra power needed.
    3. NHC cant do this I think. It only shows Harddisk and CPU temp.

    On startup NHC is blocked by Vista... Vista does not allow it to load even though i'm using an admin account... Why is it like that...

    Nice one, MS. Make users turn off the security of your software so that they can run programs that are just reading basic info, not even writing it. Why even build it in there in the first place?
