Searching for a temperature monitor

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a temperature monitor that would display the highest temp of my components (CPU/GPU) in the system tray. I have an old HP Pavilion DV7-1130eg that had faulty and overheating NVidia graphics cards (it's at 64°C now and I have only Chrome with 8 tabs, Skype and Steam open). So I have to monitor my temperatures. I was using CoreTemp and it is great! It display the highest temperature of my CPU Cores (so if Core1 has 50°C and Core2 has 54°C, it only display Core2's 54°C) and that was awesome and it saves space. But it doesn't monitor my GPU, only the CPU (it also doesn't monitor the HDD, but that stays cool most of the time so it doesn't matter that much). And one time I was setting up Razer/IOBit Game Booster to boost my gaming performance and it showed that my GPU was at 94°C! If I remember correctly, Windows shuts down if anything is above 100°C because the heat will damage the components. My CPU cores were at around 70°C so if this would happen outside a game, where I would see my taskbar, CoreTemp wouldn't show the hight temp of my GPU, only CPU so I wouldn't even know that my GPU is killing itself. So my perfect temp monitor would:
-monitor CPU and GPU temps
-and would display the highest temp of them in the system tray
It would be nice if it would also change fan speed when overheating but even SpeedFan doesn't detect my fan, don't know why...
Is there something like that?
Thanks
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core T3400 @ 2.16GHz
GPU: NVidia GeForce 9600M GT
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
EDIT: And FREE!

I already said that I was using CoreTemp to monitor my CPU temps, but I also need GPU now!

I was using CoreTemp and it is great! It display the highest temperature of my CPU Cores (so if Core1 has 50°C and Core2 has 54°C, it only display Core2's 54°C) and that was awesome and it saves space.
