So I recently built my first computer (yay! :D) and I am concerned with keeping the temperature of everything in check. Do you guys know of any software that will monitor my CPU, GPU, and HDD temp and will also be able to be pinned to the taskbar of windows 7 (64 bit)? I've tried several and they all only seem to be able to either not display one of the above temperatures or not be able to be pinned to the taskbar. Also, what should be the max temp for them?
CPU: i5-3570k
GPU: EVGA GTX 480
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM

I mean as in being able to see it as if it is a notification, I can't really think of another way to say it. Realtemp is able to do it but it only shows the CPU and GPU. I put the 480 in it because my cousin gave it to me for free and I don't feel like spending extra money on a new GPU. It does what I need it to do so I'm cool with it.

use "coretemp" for your cpu , it has options for monitoring your load, ram usage, cpu frequency , temps per core etc at the taskbar :D it's very helpful :D http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ :D as for the hdd and gpu, just use the cpuid , although it wont show readings at the taskbar, but you can still check it from time to time :D
