it is great software.it even monitor the hdd temp :-)).But is there any other one to monitor Fans?so I can detect any fan failures ?
Also,it is good if there are any Desktop gadgets for the temperature monitoring (and fan) which does not need additional software running in the background.It will be a big help if you know about such thing?almost all the gadgets I've found needs that external application to run .Great link above.thanks !
