EDIT: this build has an automatic installer which i am unfamiliar with (would not allow me to do an offline install)
so install at own risk (i am going to leave it until i know a bit more)

EDIT: please look at my next post before deciding to download!!

Yes I notice the auto install. Maybe just me but I don't like that.
I currently run a standalone .exe version (0.99 something).

Plus there's some other gadgets and crap. Guess he got bored and wanted to spice it up. 0.99 works fine for me.

I also like to look with HWMonitor sometimes. It's the only free monitor I've found that shows the actual fan speeds on both my dual core and quad core HP PCs. But for convertin' video I usually have Core Temp open.
