    I am looking for a good temperature monitor for my new 1520.
    I don't like speedfan, because it tells me the temp in celsius, and not Fahrenheit.
    Any suggestions?

    Tf = (9/5)*Tc+32; Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

    Gee that was helpful...

    Maybe the OP can convert the temp on the fly in their head :p

    Have you tried I8kfanGUI ?

    http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/index.html

    It provides numerous monitoring options as well as Fahrenheit conversion (for those supposed 1% ;) :)

    99% of the world besides U.S. uses celsius for everything, we should all be moving towards it.
