Looking for some software that will monitor the temp on my southbridge, though displaying
CPU/GPU temp would be a plus.

Being a Vista sidebar gadget would be a huge plus, but not necessary. Any suggestions?

Humm, Speedfan perhaps ?
It will list all sensors in the puter (including gpu), so it can be tough figuring out what is what.

Then you could snatch those valuses and use it in Samurize to create your own "gatges" :)
EDIT:
Ive never used any app to actually monitor the south bridge, but I think Speedfan would do.
Also, Motherboard Monitor 5 supports southbridges on some mobos. Samurize is compatible with that one too so you could create your own skin to monitor everything you need.

The hardware monitor in Rivatuner supports Core duo and gpu of course. This one is nice as you can start the RT server and display those values along with much else while in game (such as FPS, Gpu ram, HDD S.m.a.r.t etc etc) Though it seems buged in Vista 64 (wont work in dx10 games or with 64bit executables is seems)

I've been using the nVIDIA system monitoring tool. It's a bit fussy but it displays most temps for nVIDIA hardware...

Speedfan, there are a few Vista Sidebar gadgets out here. I've haven't used any though as I don't use the sidebar.
