i think you got me wrong.. somewhere :-)
the problem is that i don't use RT.
ok, that didn't actually sound like a problem but, put it this way:
i used to be very attached to riva tuner but nowadays i had to switch to Ati Tray Tools, because of the voltage tweaking feature it comes with.
this helps my vmodded card get a rest while on idle...
that aside, the idea of using both RT and ATT together is an option, but one that i'd really wish to avoid...

so that's the main reason why i thought up this approach (Realtemp <- gpu temp data <- GPU-z).
now don't get me wrong:
i think that the RivaTuner integration you added to RealTemp is very useful, and it will come in handy if i turn back to the green side of the force

The W1zzard that wrote GPU-Z was nice enough to give me the code that displays RealTemp's system tray temperatures so it would be easy for him to add that code to GPU-Z. Just ask him.
Fair enough, that settles it then

Thnks for c-state app, i'll be bussy googleing some info on it
