    Hi all,sorry to be a noob but i was wondering which programs everyone is using to monitor their cpu and gpu temps.
    Since downloading BIOS 05,whenever i play a game my temps are soaring much higher than they were before hand. My fan does not even seem to cool down in the slightest,i know 05 was to reduce fan noise but it has seriously reduced the rate at which my fan cools down the laptop so can anyone help me as to which program i should use to monitor my temps as it is getting so hot im getting a bit worried for it now!
    Thanks all

    Real Temp also a good one, it update like once every 1 sec while HWMonitor is 1 - 2 sec.
