Temp readings with CCC 7.4

Thanks to everyone who gave me advice on the X850 or X1650
question. I ended up getting a Connect3D X1650 XT, and so far it's
working fine.
I downloaded and installed the CCC 7.4 drivers from the
ATI/AMD site rather than use the Connect3D one. The temperature
reading in the tooltip for the ATI icon on the toolbar only shows 0
degrees. I have to open the CCC and go to the ATI Overdrive section to
get the temp. I can't find anywhere to turn on the temp in the
tooltip. Is this a bug?

Looks like a bug. Note: there is no need to constantly monitor the card's
temperature, especially since the X1650XT doesn't draw much power.

Many users disable the ATi icon altogether.
