Program to monitor disk, CPU, & motherboard temperatures?

[Jeff_C]

I'm looking for a Win 7 64 bit compaible program (or programs) to monitor the temperature of my hard disks, motherboard, CPU, etc. I'd prefer something tht would show the temps in the taskbar icon area near the clock.

I'm trying to get the PC as quiet as possible and I'd like to be able to monitor these while protools is running. I've got a hardware fan control, so I can adjust the fans on the fly.

Does anybody have a program to suggest?

just search the availible Gadgets online. right click the desktop. Choose Gagets. Then click, Search for gagets. There is one called All CPU Meter, pretty much all gagets are free.

Thanks, Benoni. Will gadgets shrink down to the taskbar? I hadn't really considered them because I figured they'd take up screen real estate.

Your Gadgets will stay behind open Windows. a quick way to check your Gadgets is to hover your mouse over the Extreme bottom, Right side of the Screen/Task bar , this will show the Desktop, then move the mouse off the area, and you are back to whatever you were doing. You need Areo on for this. I leave Areo On with no problems, but I also have 8GB of Ram and a 64 bit OS... if you have under 4GB or a 32 bit OS, then you may benefit from leaving Areo off.

If you want a Program, then CPUID will work fine, as does Speccy
