    Hey Guys,

    I just recently purchased a Dell I9300. I was wondering what is a good program to monitor the temps in the system. I am goign to OC my vid card and I want to make sure the temps are accurate. If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks guys, I have downloaded i9kfangui and this is a very nice program, I think I will stick to this, I was using speed fan but the temps were off by as much as 10C. Thanks for the input.

    No problem, I figured that out last night....I was running speedfan and I could only display one and I read the FAQ on I9kfangui and found that you can display 2.

    There's also the option of running Samurize and the i9kfangui Plugin for it.

    The plugin is based off torsius i8kfangui plugin for Samurize , modified so that it will display the correct readings on a 9300/xps2/m170

    Get it from here: http://www.mckenziedev.com

    Here's the i9kfangui 2.3 beta thread on notebookforums.com
    http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=114324

    The beta thread will be updated with more information and another version of the plugin that will adjust the GPU temp.

    Please note: If you are running it with the 7800GTX video card, you will get a GPU temp reading that is 6c lower then the actual temp.
