    Is there a program in existence to monitor motherboard info, Hard disk SMART status and Graphics card info all at once? It would be a lot better than using 3 different programs like I am at the moment.

    cheers, thats a good bit of software. only problem is it cant inform you when things get to hot etc.

    Just found that with ATItool you can forward temp readings to Mother Board Monitor, now I just need to find a HDD monitor that can do the same.

    It also turns out MBM can read HDD temps, you just have to turn it on in the general tab, right at the bottom, then It becomes available as a sensor. It's such a shame they dont maintain that program anymore.

    Why not Samurize? The learning curve is a little steep, but it's very customizable and will monitor all the things you're talking about and provide warnings. You'll have to set it up to do that, but there's lots of configs out there that people have made that you could use.

    Samurize simply shows everything in a pretty display, it requires the external proggies to forward the data to. Fine if you're looking for a less cluttered desktop, but no better if you're looking to conserve resources. Having said that, there's no better app to centralize things.

    Speedfan is pretty good. It has voltages, temps, and -you guessed it- fan speeds (and you can adjust them on some mobos), though no graphics card support. Much better than MBM imo, as it auto-detects the sensors and whatnot, so you're not screwed with new mobos.

    Google for HDD Thermometer (FREE!), HDD Temperature, or Active SMART?

    They're all HDD specific programs obviously, but you may also be able to do what you want re ATI Tools as well?
