I asked the MBM5 author to include that in his program but he said he
couldn't do it because the game screen is not accessible. Fraps works
because the fps function is built into DirectX. If you can play the game in
a window you can read the temp in the system tray. That would work until you
found out how hot things were getting.

You can get panels to put on your computer that display the temps.

In MBM just look under High/Low after playing.

I don't know about software, but hardware wise:

You could turn the logging on in MBM5 and inspect it after the
game.

Seconded. It's almost certainly the max temperature "ever" that you're
worried about. Knowing the temperature just before blowing the aliens left
leg off isn't particularly important.

How have you got this configured (driver version, screen config, etc), and
what games are you using? I trialled a similar setup but couldn't get it the
lock the mouse to one monitor when gaming. This made things unplayable, as
my mouse would end up on the secondary monitor, and then a click (to fire,
for example) would actually do something on the secondary (such as closing
MBM5). Id love to know how you got this working, as apart from this the
dual-monitor setup was great fun.
