Open Hardware Monitor?

StreamingGames · Oct 31, 2015

What is a good program to hse to monitor my temp and everything? Someone suggested Open Hardware Monitor. Does anyone have any experience with it or a different program? Please let me know the pros and cons of whatever you suggest. Thanks!

HWMonitor: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

It will tell you everything.

I like HWINFO has more updates the software stays current.

HWMonitor simply tells you the temps (which is what you are asking)

Sir SR-71 Blackbird suggests an extensive diagnosis app here telling you some cool stuff. Try both, see which one you really need.

It's more accurate with temps , it's updated constantly to adjust to new hardware , Hwmonitor is ok but can be wrong at times.

I've used Open Hardware Monitor, it's open sourced (not regularly updated though), has almost the same sensors like HWmonitor, in addition it has a Tray icon, always on top customizable desktop gadget, graph plot, can hide sensors, set fan RPM manually, logging and remote.

Although when testing system temps I prefer using Hwmonitor and RealTemp

I downloaded HWinfo and I cant find ANYWHERE where is says the temperature of anything.. am I lost or does it not say it??

Click Sensors tab.

Ah okay thank you! And while I have you here maybe you could help with this.. I wanted to see my temps because I think something is wrong.. whenever Im gaming my computer starts to pulsate.. its on my desk and it feel like my phone is vibrating.. idk what it could be.. nothing seems to be loose.. is that normal? (Just built it my first build so idk..) i have an evga 750w 80 gold zotac gtx 980 Noctua nh-d 15 msi z170a gaming m7 i7 6700k and the stock fans with the fractal design define xl r2. It only happens when Im gaming..

Can you tell what's vibrating or is it the whole case.

StreamingGames · Nov 1, 2015

Im not able to tell whats vibrating. I dont know what it could be. Im very nervous because Ive spent a TON of money on this build and I dont think its normal for it to do that.. the only things I could think are maybe its the graphics card since it only happens when Im gaming?

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 1, 2015

Is the fan on the heatsink causing the vibration?

StreamingGames · Nov 1, 2015

Nope. Everything I check isnt vibrating. I think im going to have to bring it into a shop. I dont want to risk it being something bad and losing my money on it.

ITS THE GRAPHICS CARD

StreamingGames · Nov 1, 2015

I was able to feel it while the vibrating is going on and its the graphics card. Its making a hissing/humming type noise and its pulsating with vibration
