Their are many programs that can do this but most of them are inaccurate from what I have noticed. Best thing imo would to just go into the BIOS and look for the performance there since it displays pretty much what your looking for.

Everest, granted all you can get is a trial copy unless you have "obtaineditbyunmentionableways" like me, but it reads the BIOS and reports temps, so its pretty accurate....PS: Some temps, like GPU, you should display GPU Diode, otherwise it reads the temp of the air outside the GPU.(or at least thats how mine works)

A few others I know of is SpeedFan, not sure if it measures GPU temp, but it measures CPU/MOBO temp and RPM of your fans. Another good one for multi-core systems is CoreTemp, but I believe it only reads your processor temp.

RE: Performance Monitor 

PCWizard '08 oughta help. I have tested several of them out, but this one reports the most accurate so far.

SpeedFan does report the GPU temp, but you have to figure out which one that actually is :p They don't label beyond the CPU and HD



If Death takes me now I shall not fear, for I have lived and life is good.

I used it once before to see what it was like, and let me tell you....it can tell you more about your computer than any other program I have seen will.

But I like Everest's OSD(on-screen display), as I have dual monitors, so I display it on my secondary monitor at all times, that way in games I can see my temps.

RE: Performance Monitor 

I have a shuttle XPC [Ultra small] and it comes with XPC tools that do temp and all that. Maybe your mobo manufacturer has one.
