Good Software for CPU Temp

[Crazybob's Son]

I know that ASUS comes with a handy utility (PC Probe) to show CPU temp, fan speed, etc. What programs does everyone here use? (Asking cuz my father and I just built his i7 w/dual gtx 460's last night and it came with an MSI board so I'm not sure if there is an MSI specific utility or not)

I use Core Temp on my MSI board and my ASUS board.

I use a gadget:

Their all CPU with CoreTemp (for all my machines w/o Everest anyways).

Also use their network and drives meter. The new GPU app (just came out last week) is nice for single GPU systems as well. Not so much for multi-GPU yet, as it has no way to show more than 1 at the moment.

+1 for this piece of software. Very handy.

I use Aida64, which used to be Everest. Tells you everything you ever wanted to know about your system, and a few things your probably will never need to know.
Asus builds great hardware, but the best thing you could ever do is throw away the software they include with it.

This may sound wierd but I use SpeedFan on most of my systems.

Not weird at all. The only reason I use the gadget I do is to make it pretty hehe. The basic functionality of speedfan, coretemp, truetemp or something like that and probably a dozen others is pretty close to identical. Though speedfan will let you control fans in a compatible system, which is very nice.

Here's my current setup at home (no coretemp):

^clicky (probably have to click twice) to make big

I use System Monitor II with core temp running so I get the full system stats + the GPU tool works nice.
