CPU/Computer Temperature Monitoring Software

[Stoic Sentinel]

Can you guys suggest any good computer temperature monitoring software? Preferably freeware, but if I must, I'll buy it.

HWMonitor is the best IMO it tells you temps, fan speed, and Voltages.

Speed Fan. Excellent, free and has been available for the last couple of years.

Alright, CPU all cores at 38C max, GPU at 59C max, and HDD at 33C max. Is that good? What would be the recommended max for all of them?

bump, anyone?

i've been looking for a good temp monitor too and that hw manager works great, plus it's made from that cpuid company and their cpuid-z is also awesome, it's a nice company. Thanks for the suggestion.

It really just depends on your specific hardware, do some research on what other people are saying about normal temps for your pc and if ur interested in overclocking do some research to see what other people have gotten it too and what's safe, and just try some trial and error.

If your CPU is 38C, that's a good temp. Have you ran Prime95? Your GPU seems a little high, but different GPU's don't have the same temperature, so like said above, do some research on your hardware to see what the maximum temperatures for it.
If you want to do Overclocking, you need an after market cooler for your processor. The stock coolers that come in the box won't keep it cool enough.

Got to disagree with that, 60 degrees is nothing for a GPU, 75 degrees is about normal for newer graphics cards now, any higher than that though, then i would say it is a little very high, if that is maax temp too, 60 isn't too bad
