Don't forget to tick the 'Round off checking' option under Advanced:


Otherwise you won't know if one of your cores has failed etc

(And I personally prefer Realtemp over Speedfan, but that's just my opinion)

I have no idea what round-off checking is. Is it enabled by default? When I torture tested my CPU for my overclock, I didn't mess with that at all. I knew it had failed because one of the cores suddenly stopped testing and reported errors.

Done. Now all I need is a thumbnail for it...any suggestions?

Realtemp's only for Intel, isn't it?

Yes, that is correct.

Nice tutorial Jon, nice to be able to link to this instead of writing it all the time.

I use Realtemp as well.

Excellent! Very well done and very helpful. Thanks much.

Just thought I would add the CPU tempurature monitoring programs here for reference.

For Intel: Real Temp

For AMD and Intel: Core Temp

For AMD and Intel: Speedfan (as in the 'Tip' above)

I see these recommended on many forums, but others work as well.

Thank you Dave. :)
