I've just built my first computer, and the case has a nice built in fan controller, but I want to be able to make sure that I don't ever have it too low. Is there some program that you guys know of that I can use to monitor my system temperatures and ensure that they stay cool? I'm not sure how these types of software work, but something that just sits in the corner of my screen/desktop (kind of similar to how that Comodo Antivirus works) and it would be awesome if it could give me some kind of warning when temperatures started to get a little high so I can turn the fans up. Again, I'm unfamiliar with these types of software, so I don't even know if there's a software that can do these things, but any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Asus AI Suite is more for CPU overclockers and modders.

Speccy is very user-friendly and easy to use. And it's free.

I don't know what you setup is, but I really like Asus AI Suite. It offers lots of monitoring utilities and fan customization. It is easy to use and has a really nice interface. However, it doesn't show GPU temps.

Thanks for your input! I'm sorry to have taken so long to reply to this thread. That's two for Speccy, so I'll try Speccy out first. I'm probably also going to check out Asus AI Suite since I plan on OC'ing once I get a better PSU and a water cooler for my CPU. And my Motherboard is Asus, so I don't know if that factors in.

Anyways, thank you very much for your input everyone!
