    I need CPU/GPU/HD temps and CPU/GPU clocks displayed as icons in notification area.

    HWiNFO32 doesn't have CPU clocks yet.

    Everest/AIDA64 cannot detect my HD6970.

    Is there any other options at all?

    CoreTemp can display your CPU temps and clocks in the system tray.

    What about GPU temp and clock?

    You could give RivaTuner a shot, you can make it show cpu/gpu temps as well as use and clocks in the taskbar or in a graph, although the taskbar numbers limit you to 2 digits which is almost useless for clocks...

    i use realtemp and coretemp to get:
    1) GPU load
    2) GPU temp
    3) CPU load
    4) CPU temp
    5) CPU clockspeed

    i'm sure one of them will get you HD temps
