The best way to monitor temperature

[liswara]

I know speedfan in the most popular software to monitor all chip temp but I found it hard to use. Is there any free software that is more familiar to use to monitor temp except speedfan?

With speedfan, I can't figure which temp 0, 1 , 2, 3, is for cpu 1, 2 or northbridge, southbridge or hdd or gpu Thx folks.

Ok, depending on your mobo brand, Gigabyte/ASUS/MSI boards come with a CD that has sensor utility. Use that & note where each temp reading is from. Then uninstall it & use speedfan & right-click each label to rename them.

liswara, you're still better off with SpeedFan 4.33. It's really not that difficult, so give it another chance. Check out the following Sticky: Core 2 Quad and Duo Temperature Guide http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/221745-29-core-quad-temperature-guide

If you just read Section 8 (Tools) Note 3 (SpeedFan) as well as Section 11 (Offsets) then I'm sure you can figure it out.

Hope this helps,

Comp

Ok, I'll give myself another try with speedfan. The akhilles input quite informative, I try to install easy tune from my mobo Gigabyte 965P and notice the temp then uninstall and using speedfan to rename the temp item. Also http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/221745-29-core-quad-temperature-guide quite help too, thx to CompuTronix.

Why? What's the reason? I have E6320, is it a 'modern' cpu or not?
