The Panzer Temperature widget for Coretemp is a pretty Xwidget for your desktop. It is a simple Temperature Gauge that displays the highest temperature being experienced within your PC - useful for checking on your GPU. Mine was peaking at 90 degrees before I installed this gauge on my own laptop.

This widget uses Coretemp to obtain temperature information. Why is Coretemp needed? The answer is that the Windows operating system is meant to provide an interface to the motherboard and other components to provide system temperature information. Unfortunately, Windows does not yet do its job as there seems to be no stable hardware specification for hardware manufacturers to provide  temperature sensors. Coretemp is pretty good at extracting temperatures from many pieces of PC hardware and as such it is a fundamental requirement for Coretemp to be installed on your Windows PC for this widget to function.

 

Think of this widget as a graphical interface to coretemp.
