What to use to monitor temps?

[KPC84]

Might be a noob question, but without an exterior gauge on the case like Apevia or Exclio case, what do you guys use to monitor the temps inside the case?

Are those programs? Are they accurate?

 

[MosIncredible]

Yes, and as accurate as you can get for software.

For my e8400 I use real temp. It works well since all others don't with this CPU. Link.Direct Download It's only for intel CPU's though. Otherwise PC wiziard 2008 and Everest work great for everything else.

But unless you have a case with a gauge and a real temp sender unit, you just have to rely on software? There is no after market gauges with temp sensors?

They should make something similar to a meat thermometer. You could just stick in your CPU and watch the gauge go crazy. At least your CPU would never come off the grill raw.....LOL.

Nothing to do with this Thread, but to an ex-restaurant manager such as myself, I found that hilarious
