Hi pizzaman,

There's some gadgets at the hobby lounge, speedfan is one I believe that does, but you have to be a member to download. It's free though. Programs like PC Wizard 2008 and HWININFO32 show temps.

Core Temp in association with Core Temp Gadget. Free. CPU only, though.

It does, complete with built-in Sidebar support.

Another one not mentioned is RivaTuner

If you had a nvidia graphics card, you could have used the NVMonitor that is supplied with the drivers.

Give RivaTuner a try,

RivaTuner v2.22 download from Guru3D.com

Don't worry about any of the fan control or overclocking stuff (unless you really want too), and set it up with the hardware monitoring,

Vaguetech - Rivatuner v2.07-11 Guide

Once configured you can also set it to use its built-in OSD and keep track of things while gaming.
