Temp Monitors

Are there any decent Monitoring gadgets for measuring Core / gpu / HDD Temps out there, as I can not seem to find any?

I have been overclocking so need to monitor my temps for at least the next few weeks and a gadget would be handy, instead of speed fan etc, etc


?

You can use Coretemp to monitor CPU temps and that will display in the system tray and there is also a desktop gadget that you can use to go with it that will display RAM and CPU usage as well as temps, I also use the Nvidia GPU temp gadget which monitors the GPU and the PCB of your video card.

Here the direct download links

Everest Ultimate 5 has all the monitoring abilities that anyone could need - it will monitor every one of the things you listed, as well as every voltage, and anything else you could think of...only downside - it's not a free program, but it's worth every penny.

Also, Everest will output anything you want to monitor directly to your desktop in text format (that's configurable in color, size, font, etc.)


There are also several different Everest Windows Gadgets that you may be interested in. One of the best ones is Everest Meter v1.0
Then there's MultiSensor but it doesn't have some of the temps that you wanted - still cool though.

Seriously, if you want something that's going to monitor everything without having to install multiple programs, Everest Ultimate is going to be the one to go with.

Good luck!

In my experience, Everest is every bit as reliable as CoreTemp and Speedfan...the only drawback for me with Everest is having to run it in the background, taking up resources all the time.
But, that's what we got all this RAM for, right? ;) - I just can't let go though...CoreTemp is really the only temp that I need to monitor on a semi-constant basis. I occasionally pull out HDTune just to see the temps of my 7 HDDs, but the air cooling setup I've rigged in my Cosmos S is perfect, and all 7 are between 28*C and 34*C, so it's not something I feel I need to monitor constantly.

Anyway, glad you've got what you wanted. Good luck!
