I just hate the gui of motherboard monitor. Even though i actually once did take the time to configure everything correctly i just can`t remember what i did to make it work

Is there really nothing simpler? Possibly just a digital display in the tray that shows all availible sensors.

List needs to be updated IMO. Here is some other stuff to add. BTW, PCMark2002 is no longer supported. There might be someone that wants to bench with it so you can leave it if you want.

Overclocker/Tweaker:
ATI -
Rage3d Tweak

Video Benchmark:
3DMark2005 Don't forget the patch since it isn't integrated into the main install file yet.

System Benchmark:
PCMark 2004
