Comprehensive Temperature Readout Software

[wshinds]

I am running an i7 965 rig with a single ATI 5870. The 965 is overclocked to 4.0ghz. The system is housed in a Corsair 800D.

I started this thread because it is my first enthusiast grade build, granted I am posting this 3 years too late, but as I look to impregnate my CaseLabs Magnum TH10 with a new 7970, 3930X and more goodies, I am looking to a) move the 800D system into the family room for use as an HTPC, and it does NOT need the amount of fans it has. Damn thing sounds like a naval Sea Harrier mid landing.

I am looking for a good software that can tell me the temps of the:

1) CPU
2) GPU
3) RAM

And anything else of import. The 3 Y.S. Tech's exhausting air out the top are running at 52 dbA each. You do the math (there are more on the inside) and the exhaust of the Y.S. is so fierce that the rear factory provided Corsair 120mm fan won't even spin.

The software does NOT need to be free.

Also, if speedfan is ultimately what is recommended, what do I need to pay attention to? The following is my system at idle:

Also wondering why it is reading 3.2 ghZ... motherboard incompatibility? Running an Asus P6Premium LGA 1366 board... strange.

Speedfan you already have.

HWMonitor.

Coretemp ( CPU only but very accurate ).

RealTemp ( CPU/GPU very accurate )

PCWizard 2010. More info than you can ever use about your entire computer. Very handy to have installed.

All of these are useful in their own ways. All will give you temps. All are free. I think Speedfan reads your default processor speed and does not recognize the overclock.

Anort, thank you and might I say, wow, that is a whole heck of a lot of applications to run. I am looking forward to the new system since it will have a ROG Asus Board for easier OC and from what I can tell about the P6X, better accuracy on the temps.
