Quick Poll - NVMonitor

* How many of you use this?

* If not, why?

* What do you use in its place?

    I use CPUID Hardware monitor primarily.  Small, everything is there in one little screen, and max/min memory.

     I don't I use HW Monitor, CPUz  and Coretemp primarily.  More accurate and in my opinion easier to use.

    Don't use it.  It's too big of a "production" just to see key data.  Would be OK if it just showed all the information on a small screen... and was accurate.

     

    Use HWMonitor, CPUZ, GPU-Z, CoreTemps.

    I do not use nVmonitor, too noisy and way too much work to load.

     

    I usse CoreTemp, temps display on tool bar at the bottom of screen all the time, no switching back and forth.  Also use Cpuid CPUz, and occasionally PC Wizard 2008, quick programs, in and out.

     

    Use DriveDective in place of update in nVcontol as well. ESA is a great idea, but needs follow through, sorta like IntelVIIV, much ado about not a lot. Removd 6.03 and back to 6.02 because of GPU fan issues.  Removed Speedfan as well, was not impressed.

    I use it for the eventlog feature, so that I can see how my temps, fan speed and cpu speed changes during gaming, etc..

    NVMonitor bundled with 6.02, inaccurate but worked and looked pretty.

    NVMonitor bundled with 6.03, took forever to start then locked my system.

    I use CPUz, GPUz and RivaTuner.

     

    NB. All ESA removed from system, everything more responsive.

    Add me to the list of people NOT using NVMonitor. Too much bling to get the info you need.

     

    I use HWMonitor and cpuz to get the info I need easily and uncluttered.
