Anyone know of a utility that will overlay the CPU, MB and Video Card temps
on a 3D Games screen?

I don't, but I have a system with 5 hard drives, ATI X850XTPE, and P4EE3.4GHZ,
and it's quieter with the side cover off than on because the motherboard
and video card cooling fans run slower.

PC temps do not change second by second, so why not just find a little
utility that will display the temps (most MoBo manufactors supply them
with OEM Software, or as a download from thier site) and simply alt/tab
between your game and the utility?

Otherwise you might want to check some of the *** gameing sites,
Im sure someone will have developed something somewhere.

I don't think there's one that will write to the screen (although that
would be a cool FRAPS addon) - I've used systool.  It gives the values
in the systray, and will keep a running log graph so you can pop out of
the game and see what the temps are like.
It doesn't seem to have wide M/B support - it recognizes my AsRock 939
board, but not my MSI KT6V.

Ok, that might work for me.  I'll give it a try.

Thanks!

No room for it in the box.  The break-out box took up all the space :)
