I am looking for something to monitor my temperatures and fan speeds of my system but I dont want to use software to do it while am in game since I only have one monitor and I hate running things in windowed mode. I know about the RivaTuner OSD and I have used it for a while but it gets on my nerves while am in game.
Ideally I want something that can sit on my desk next to me and give me all the info that the RivaTuner OSD does.
Does anything like that exist? is there anything similar that is out there or is there a software package that I can use and get the info up on my phone?
Cheers Guys

I am afraid that only RivaTuner OSD or an external monitor will be able to help you,.But as you said,you don't like rivatuner osd.One think that might work,is using software on your phone to make a wireless second display with your phone and put the program there.Something like Splashtop 2 Remote Desktop might help,take a look here http://www.splashtop.com/personal .It's 2.99$ on the apple store but i think it's free on the android store


what are you insterested in seeing in this monitor?Do you want to see fps while gaming,or you want to see utilisation of cpu or gpu in case you are lagging?If you want only fps you can use nvidia shadowplay if you have an nvidia card and leave HWMonitor open to record temperatures and fan speeds and stuff.
 
Well, for about $50 bucks you could just add another monitor. Doesn't have to be anything special..... you just need the extended desktop. I use a Viewsonic 24" 1920x1080p for gaming and have a small Dell 19" 1280x1024p for Task Manager performance tab, Ventrillo Server, Ventrillo Client and CPUID HW Monitor.

Less than $50.00 for a non-software solution. Sometimes I will watch other streams on this extra monitor while playing certain turn based games.
