CJ Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Can anyone recommend a good programme that would monitor the temps inside my PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 There is a nice wee program that uses the existing sensors and you can set alarms up for high temps. Let me see if i can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 realtemp or coretemp mate both very good programmes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yup another vote for Real Temp http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 realtemp is good but picky about the cpu's it supports, coretemp is a adequate substitute just has slightly less bells and whistles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I use this guide: On fire = too hot Not on fire = OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 CPUFan is quite good for temp monitoring and fan control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Turism0 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 CPU fan is ok but this gives temperatures that it receives from the motherboard as opposed to actual core temperatures which are more important really as motherboard sensors are average at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have D/L Real Temp but now I am not too sure if the temps are good or not? I have numbers in 2 rows / 2 columns. Under the one that says CPUID I am getting 51 and under Ox10676 I am getting 48 (both degrees c). Under that it then shows the distance to TJ max which is a figure that would take it to 100 but I am not sure what TJ Max means. The thermal status says it is OK and then if I run XS bench it gives me the following: Your score - 828 Time 17.672 secs Speed 2500.03MHz Base score 1000 E8400 3000MHz High Score 1976 Time 7.404 secs 17 940 48730.28MHz rge ExtremeSystems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 is there some program that shows temps on desktop? Im sure i saw a friends desktop with different graphical representations of temps on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Minimise Real Temp, Core Temp or Speedfan and it reports Temps in the task bar. Otherwise, download a widget for vista/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I D/L a widget and that is working fine and dandy. Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
