Best Temp. Monitor?

Ice Rich · 25 Jan 2007 at 17:42

Hi all,

Ive only ever used BIOS to check temp settings etc. Is there a recommended app to use in windows for this instead?

Thanks!

Most of the motherboard suppliers have their own temp sensors on the driver disks or at least asus and gigabyte do. Other wise download speed fan, that will tell you the temperatures of the CPU,MOBO & HDDs as well as current fan speeds. Hope this helps :cool:

Recommend SpeedFan (here) also

i dont know about dfi having temp software but speedfan is the best free software unless you want to buy a fan controller but even those arnt as accurate as speedfan. Hope this was helpful for you

Depending on your processor, coretemp will give the most accurate reading.

Speedfan is as good as the motherboard sensors, mbm used to be good but he stopped updating it so you would need a custom config for any recent motherboard.

Im going to send you an email to your talk21 address, could you reply please
