I seen a pic of someones desktop that had a gadget that displays the temp of the cpu and the mobo.

Where did i come from and is their a link to it?

Its not in the microsoft gadget catalog so either somone made it or found it in one of those hard to find sites.

Once you install everest, you can do a search for everest gadgets on ms website, and use everest ultimate to monitor your pc.

Everest made my PC lag when I was using logging. I use the Speedfan sidebar tool: http://thehobbylounge.com/forum/index.php?topic=766.0

I just want a free gadget that tells me my cpu and board temp.

There is no free version of everest. They stopped support for it a while ago...like over a year now. Maybe 2 years. Just pony up the $50 and buy it. Well worth it in my opinion.

I checked the free version and it doesn't have an option for gadget in vista setting.

theres 2, Everest and speed fan with a optional gadget. To setup speed fan you have to know what your doing when configuring the sensors. Its not for you :p Heck its not for me either.. You can DL a pre made config for your motherboard on there main site that might help you out.. For everest you can just use a corporate Serial its not theft if your one of the legal 100,000 users :cool: You just need to know some one that is giving out there corporate lisence key legally...

The 100,000 users of what? It says it costs 34.95.

If its legit than how can i get the corprate key?

All i care about is a sensor gadget for sidebar.

I thought about speed fan but i don't like the options.

People actually spend 50 bucks on monitroing software and software that sisoft sanra can do and just to have a temp gadget?

What a fricken joke.

Its not worth it to spend money on software you can find free all over the net from 3dmark to winbench to aquamark. Sorry not worth it.

Motherboard manager, and Samurize :)

Mbm for the actual sensor then you link it to Samurize and either create your own custom skin or download a complete one. I prefer making my own as then I can have what I need. Also, samurize supports a very wide range of sensors (network, drive space, speed, ram, winamp etc etc) so you can do almost anything you want with it.

Gonna do my setup sometime later this week when I got some time for it.
