    What program reports actual, proper temps in the M1330? I've looked at a few apps and they report wildly different temps. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I also use i8kfangui.

    @ computernerd: going bit off topic; what were the reasons to return your M1330?

    I tried the i8kfangui and it didn't give me a GPU temp. Also how many fans does the XPS M1330 actually have?

    You need to tell it to monitor your GPU in the options.
    When I first installed it, it only checked my processor.
