Found this Nvidia Temp Gadget

Anyone who has searched around on google will tell you that finding a good Vista temp gadget is rare. Most will tell you you need Everest installed.

Couldn't find this with a search of the forums so I think I might be first to post it.

You need an Nvidia card and I think that might be all you need...

enjoy

 

and here is a screenshot for who is wondering how it looks

 

Oh oh Oh oh.. Looks like a nifty tool if only I still had NVIDIA ;( +rep jak

 

I've used this gadget on my desktop for awhile, it works pretty well, no additional apps needed.

There are more gadgets like this one available at The Hobby Lounge. I don't have enough posts yet to insert a link so just google it...

 

Looks good - works on my 9500M GS, at least.

 

Oh cool. Im going to download and try it now.

 

Wow, great standalone gadget. Now, we just need one for CPU and SMART data.

 

Asking for rep is against the rules, please do not do it.

Thank you

 

I've read the rules a few times before this and just now again... it only says "Please, no rep begging." I don't think saying, "Feel free to rep" is begging... (for anyone wondering, that's what it said before X2P edited my post). However, you're the mod so maybe you've seen something I haven't. Could you show me where the rules say I can't ask for rep?

 

Sorry, but no form of asking for rep, both direct and indirect, is allowed.

 

Has anyone tried running this alongside GPU-Z and if so how much do the temps differ if at all?

 

Hi.

I cannot see a way to keep it on top , so that it shows when playing games.

Regards

John.

 

Alright I'll keep this in mind from now on.

Not GPU-Z but I have checked it against HWMonitor multiple times and it always matches.

I don't think you'll be able to. Try to edit sidebar properties to always be on top of other windows, but I doubt this would work and would probablly be annoying if it did. There are other solutions on this forum that show how to monitor temps from in game, but this is supposed to just be a sidebar gadget.

 

Seems to match GPU-Z pretty well, too.
And you might be able to get the GPU gadget on top at all times - just drag it off the sidebar onto the desktop, right-click on it and hit Always on Top.

EDIT: Never mind, if it doesn't go on top of that HDR orbiting-orbs thingie, then it won't go on top of games.

 

The latest version of SpeedFan can display the temps of an Nvidia GPU. And you can choose any of the various temps to be displayed in the System Notification Area. I realize that is not the same thing as an "always on top", but if your game can be run windowed it would allow you to see the temps.
