    I don't know if Asus bundles a temperature monitoring program with their notebooks, but NHC can do that and more.

    EDIT: Oops, didn't realize it was not compatible with Vista >_<. Sorry.

    So far with me at least, Everest has been the most accurate.

    i don't know....when i was running a stress test on my computer, everest didn't detect any change in heat in the cpu, while rmclock seemed to measure a fairly consistent rise in temps.

    do you need to buy an extra add on to read the temp in your laptop or is the program alone capable?
