    Just a quick question, I just got my new M11X R2 i7 and i was just wondering what are the best gadgets for this computer. Such as core temp, cpu usage and everything in-between, since i am new in the whole laptop world and since i just started over clocking and i thought these will be good things to have. thanks!!!

    ps
    you can also add any cool ones that you might have :cool:

    Here is the list I use:

    - ThrottleStop - a utility that lets you adjust the temperature / electrical current thresholds used by TurboBoost on your CPU.

    - MSI Afterburner - Utility that lets you adjust clock speeds of your GPU and overclock it.

    - Battery Bar - just a great little battery tool, much more detail than Windows 7 built-in battery meter.

    - Windows 7 Desktop Gadget (All CPU Meter) - Shows CPU / memory utilization.

    - Windows 7 Desktop Gadget (Weather) - Because I like to know the weather
