Best software to monitor my CPU and GPU temperatures

Crom808 · Jun 1, 2017

Greetings,

Which CPU and GPU temperature monitoring software do you guys recommend? And if there's any other monitoring software you guys recommend me getting. I'm building a new system soon and I want to monitor the temps to make sure the system is running good. Here is my system specs:

Case: Corsair Carbide 400C White
Motherboard: Asus Z270-A
CPU: Core i-5 7600k
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070
PSU: EVGA Supernova G3 750 PSU
CPU Air Cooler: Deepcool Assassin 2
Memory: 16GB (x2 8GB Stick) Corsair Vengence LPX
SSD: Kingston V300 240GB

Thank in advance for the help!

EDIT: Also what is a good/safe temperature for my CPU and GPU when I'm playing a game on full load and when I'm just watching streams and youtube videos? Want to make sure I know when the system is too hot

MSI afterburner is pretty informative, hwinfo works as well

Supahos :

Does monitors both CPU and GPU temps? So CPU-Z is not really used anymore? I remember using that a long time ago. Also edited the original post and added a new question. Thanks again!

Keep CPU and GPU low 80s max while gaming. I like afterburner as you can mess with the fan profile if you want lower temps for your gpu or slow fans down to make it quiter if you wish.

i use gpuz for graphics temperature

and coretemp for the cpu temperature

the gpu isnt that likely to get too hot as gtx1070 runs relatively cool--unless its a reference card then will run hotter--ie not aftermarket cooler on it

Thanks for the reply @Supahos @mcnumpty23

I'm just looking for a good dependable program. @Supahos, I think I'll just use the BIOS to control the AWM fans that I have. Is there a more basic program you could recommend me that is dependable? And @mcnumpty23 Is there any other temp monitoring software I need? Or is monitoring my CPU and GPU all I need to do?

not really the cpu to me is most important

followed by the gpu--as i said any gtx 1070 with an after market cooler wont run hot any way

mine before i watercooled it never broke 60c--though it had a huge cooler on there--palit gamerock gtx1070

Crom808 :

I use Speccy

and HwMonitor

for confirmation. When gaming I use MSI Afterburner

. It can show more than what's shown but those resources are the only ones I choose to monitor. I also use MSI AB to change my GFX Card's fan curve and can use it to OC my GPU and it's capable of more than that.

Thanks for the info. Is there anything else you'd like to add @Supahos?

Crom808 · Jun 3, 2017

Afterburner looks nice

And for those that don't think so, they can open Riva Tuner and customize the placement, color, font and size of the OSD.
