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.

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.
