Hello Guys

Kindly suggest a free software from which i can check if my GPU/CPU are overheating or not,
Currently I am 3d rendering stuff these days therefore i need an eye on my gpu and cpu heating. A simple software will do, I dont want to go it to details just want to see if things are going good or not.

Regards

HardWare Monitor mentioned above by Phillip Corcoran can also logg every readings - temp and voltages.

To find out if it has some strange temperatures or voltage: download and install HWMonitor (free) http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
To the left download the free version.
Obs! during installation make sure that you untick any third part s/w. I always recommend this procedure no matter what on any free s/w. Ok.

Then, in the HWmonitor window there are three columns:
Value= shows the actual readings from all the sensors including temperatures and voltage
Min and max speaks for itself.

Now, Start the most cpu heavy program you have and work with it, surf the internet and perhaps watch an on-line news film for at least...

Hi,
I have two monitors and on my secondary monitor I have these two, just perfect:

1. GPU: works with both AMD or nVidia grapcihs card: GPU Observer: http://orbmu2k.de/sidebar-gadgets/gpu-observer-sidebar-gadget

2. CoreTemp main program: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
3. And its gadget: 2.8 http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/addons.html

4. To be able to use gadgets on Windows 8 or Windows 10: download free 8GadgetPack for Windows 8 or 10
8GadgetPack

5. In CoreTemp s/w change the settings to Autostart and then check minimize to Tray after start.

Just a suggestion, but I' running this on my:
Windows 10 pro 64-bit
Motherboard: Asus Z97 Deluxe CPU:
Intel Core i7 4790K @4.6GHz Memory: 16GB
2133MHz Cl11 Graphic:
ASUS Radeon R9 290 4GB SSD: Intel 520 180GB SSD:
Samsung 850 Pro 1TB HDD: WD Velociraptor 10 000rpm 450GB HDD: WD Black Caviar
2TB HDD: Seagate 3TB HDD: Samsung 1TB Monitor: 2 BenQ 24"1 920x1080

Best regards from Sweden

Min and max speaks for itself.

Now, Start the most cpu heavy program you have and work with it, surf the internet and perhaps watch an on-line news film for at least 5-10 minutes.
Then quit all these programs/webbrowser and take a reading from HWmonitor, which of course you have been running in the background:

In the column Max: what does it says?
Post the values here or you can also click
File > Save monitoring data > it will be a text file and attach that into your next post.
