Is there a GPU temperature monitor that will stay on top while playing a game?

What are some other alternatives?

I have a ATI Radeon 5770.

try GameOverlay:

Run a utility in the background checking temperatures, download speeds, etc, then overlay it!Game Overlay works with Direct3D, OpenGL, and DirectDraw games and applications.

Try Desk Pins program with hwmonitor. It should be able to force the window to stay on top.

i doubt that it will stay atop a fullscreen window. which is the tricky part here... – akira Aug 22 '11 at 8:13
I would try it. It did get great reviews... – soandos Aug 22 '11 at 8:15
yah, but the chair i am sitting on got great reviews as well and somehow it can't make a pizza... – akira Aug 22 '11 at 8:17
Don't see how it can hurt to try... – soandos Aug 22 '11 at 8:18
it wont hurt. i just expressed my feelings towards the outcome. 'ontop' only is something usefull when you have layered windows. with games you don't have that, you have one big window, fullscreen. and fullscreen means ontop-of-all-other-apps, no matter how layered they are. – akira Aug 22 '11 at 8:21

try PlayXPert:

The Diagnostics Widget allows you to monitor and adjust system performance in-game within a killer user interface. This widget brings you real-time data on utilization and performance of your CPU, memory, network bandwidth, and processes. You can even kill runaway processes right within the game if it’s impacting your ability to frag your way to victory.

Why two different answers as opposed to an edit? – soandos Aug 22 '11 at 8:20
because of 2 different products. the one looks better than the other, but OP decides on this. – akira Aug 22 '11 at 8:23
