Core Temp with a desktop widget running on my 2nd screen running W7. My 3rd screen runs Afterburner readouts.

I use C2DtoG15 on mine (the CPU frequency isn't right on my i5 for some reason)

Download coretemp, install it, go to the logitech setpoint settings and tick show coretemp. But it will override gpu monitoring such as msi afterburner, but you can just put ab on screen when gaming.

Thanks guys, will give it a go.

Sometimes i have my tv hooked up to the pc via hdmi, use it as a second screen for monitoring odds and sods whilst benching. It does add a wee bit more temp wise to the top gpu in my sli setup, but not enough to be concerned about.

No faffing at all, does all the temp info you need set to G19 lcd screen

sorry for the bad pic quality but you get the idea

works great and only 1 program and does not take up a lot of mem space or processing power.
