As the title says. Can anyone reccomend me a good little widget to run on my desktop that shows the temp and load of your cpu? I'm using a HIS Radeon 7850 if that helps. It just gets annoying opening up CCC or iTurbo to check my temps :na:

I don't know if there are any widgets that monitor your GPU temps. I know they have them for CPU. But the closest thing that I have going is MSI Afterburner. When I boot up, it is in the task bar.

So I click on it and pop's right up and I can view it at any time. Also when I game it is on the screen at the same time as I am playing. Also I can use it to OC. I can use it to monitor fps and GPU usage.

I can set way points for my fan to increae when my temps increase. All that on the screen while playing in realtime. You just have to figure where on the screen you want to put it. I will link it to you along with the manual. Good luck I hope this helps.

I use this one called GPU Observer:

Works really well and concurrs with the MSI Afterburner temperatures perfectly.

EDIT: Also though as DM186 has suggested, MSI Afterburner can display the temperature in the game as an overlay.
