    Any suggestions for a free program that checks my GPU and CPU temps?
    Thanks!

    Also another Speedfan recommendation. Notebook hardware control also has a temperature monitor.

    HWMonitor

    I'm using this now, but I WAS using SpeedFan, but that only showed the CPU temps and HDD temps.

    HWMonitor shows GPU temperatures also and other hardware temperatures which have a temperature sensor.

    Simple and does not require installation, just unzip the file and run the .exe file.
