Okay so I think my computer may be producing a lot of heat. The thing I'm worried about is if any of my parts may be overheating. Can someone give me a really good program I can use that helps me monitor the temperature of my computer. I am using Windows 7 if that matters at all.

Not true. HWMonitor allows you to basically monitor all of your temps. It can monitor your HDD temps, processor temp, and motherboard temp. Then use something like MSI Afterburner to monitor your GPU temp. With those two programs, you can basically monitor all of your temps.

Ohh okay. I thought there was just a program you can download that would monitor the temperature.
 
Unfortunately you have to have temperature sensors to take a reading. You CAN download CPU-Z. I can't recall if it has a feature that allows you to read CPU temperature or not, but it's worth a look. The other components, well, you just have to have the sensor and monitoring equipment.

Great buckets of bull poop! I just downloaded it and you are 100% correct. I stand very much corrected! How in the world that I've missed this I don't know. How long has it been out?
