Pc Wizard, Speedfan.

To tag on mosox's note, speedfan works well with many boards.

depends on your motherboard and chipset. speedfan is buggy on the x58 chipset so i use coretemp, realtemp, specky or hwmonitor.

Hey good point -- as a note, speedfan and realtemp are matching for me with my i5 2500k.

OP is... missing?

I like HWMonitor actually. I also use RealTemp. Never liked SpeedFan.

You can see here, RT seems to report higher CPU temps. But I noticed that Core 0 and Core 1 actually always report the same as CPUTIN and SYSTIN in HWMonitor so I'm not sure which to believe... I prefer HWM though as it shows me a lot more info.

I'm going with Wolfram here and am going to say that I've never liked Speedfan, either. Sorry.

This is just an opinion, but HWMonitor has always been my favorite. Realtemp is decent, too, but isn't really my first choice.

I guess than i will try installing both the softwares you use as I have i5-2400. Will let you know if there exists any difference in reading between Hwmonitor & the softwares u recommended. Anyways,thanks a tonne for your suggestion.
