    I currently use the CPUID Hardware Monitor to look at my temperatures. Are they all basically the same? Is there any one particular one that is more accurate than others? Thanks

    I use SpeedFan, but I don't really think there's much of a difference other than how much memory each monitor uses.

    edit: SpeedFan using 1.9mb of RAM atm on Vista :)

    I use speedfan, but I'm not a big fan of it. It just tells me the hdd temp, and 2 misc temperatures which I am assuming is the Core 2 Duo cpus.

    Well, Speedfan just shows you all the temp sensors you computer has, and leaves you to figure out the rest. So yeah I'll agree it's not for everyone.

    Stick with CPUID better than others as far I know. (I like 3 monitors)

    1. CPU
    2. GPU
    3. HDD
    4. all 3 together running same time on screen pix below.
