oddly... speedfan and everest report 2 different temps on my computer, so you might want to check the temps and see which one looks more "normal" for instance, on my machine speedfan was showing the core temps to be 22 and 23 respectively, everest was showing it at about 37 which sounds right to me | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

I've found that everest works the best, even though it's not free. It allows me to monitor all sorts of temperatures procceses, dll files and more.
It also allows you to use the following things to display items:

OSD (Similar to Sidebar)
