Computer Temperature Monitor

[jasonmcroy 316]

I am looking for a good, free monitor for showing me my CPU, Drive and other temperature factors for my Server PC. I have been looking around on Google but I am not sure which one to pick.

 

I am looking for any advice on what other users here may be using for their PC. 

 

Thanks!

http://openhardwaremonitor.org/    good for a real time "dashboard" to leave up on your desktop... 

If you want to log the info and the ability to graph it over long periods of time.    Freeware version of PRTG is nice..   https://www.paessler.com/prtg?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=USA_EN_Search-Brand_exact_1&utm_adgroup=prtg&utm_adnum=95302453522&utm_keyword=prtg&utm_device=c&utm_position=1t1&utm_campaignid=237627322&utm_adgroupid=17933102002&utm_targetid=kwd-812164355&utm_customerid=819-112-1473&utm_location=9016182&gclid=CObi18eJ_s4CFQGNaQod7SMEGg

Have alook at these

 

Coretemp

MSiAfterburner for your GPU

SpeedFan for looking after them and other temps

 

Pull it all together with a custom interface using rain meter https://www.rainmeter.net/

I use CPUID HWmonitor

[jasonmcroy 316]

Thanks everyone. I am trying out HWmonitor and Openhardware monitor to see which one I like the best. I can't decide! lol

 

I like the Rainmeter look but it looks like it takes a lot of modifying to set up. Looks like fun but I am not sure I have the time right now.

CoreTemp is best.

 

It will show in the system tray: temp, ram, frequency, and load

White Numbers are my temp and the Emby Green number is CPU load.

 

My machine was running a bit hot during this image... Lol

Rainmeter has loads of ready made skins on e.g. deviantart which you can download and apply to test out - some use coretemp/speedfan etc to add extras

 

anyway have fun deciding - or use both!

I am now more curious how you got all those other cool looking things on your desktop! lol

 

The Emby dashboard and Emby on your left click icon thingy. (technical term  )
