I could swear that CPU-Z used to show CPU temps... Maybe oldtimers disease. Anyway, what app do folks use to monitor CPU temps with windows?

It's all about MSI Afterburner. That's just me..
CoreTemp works great for CPU temps and % utilization. :cool:

Edit: NM. It does see all 6. It just starts with 0. Duh.

I searched for that earlier on the MSI site, and came up with 0 results.
Edit: Found it via google. MSI search sucks. Anyway, this looks like a GPU moniter, right?

I've never used Afterburner, but Nvidia's System Monitor software that comes with you GPU also monitors CPU temps but the program rarely works for me so i never use it. I figure Afterburner probably does that too.

I've used Thermal Analysis Tool for years (Intel only) but there may be better ones out there now. Meager E6600 here.

Thanks guys. Core Temp is slick. Shows the temps in the toolbar. I like that.

Afterburner works well as does Speedfan. I also use nVidia's System Monitor for my desktop because it supports the ESA controller board that came with my system. The Dell tool was tied to the MB so when I upgraded their tool no longer worked. But I NEVER use the nVidia GUI. It is atrocious and doesn't work well. Anyhow the cool thing about AB & Speedfan is that they allow you to display info in the system tray. Frees up desktop space.

Yeah, I like how it gives quick, easy to read data from each core, and also the VCore as well.
I use Afterburner for the GPU's & CoreTemp for the CPU's, another good CPU Monitor is RealTemp ...
