cheers guys, any broken links, if you could find working ones it would be great.

i'm by no means perfect :) so any improvements welcome. revision 2 will come tomorrow!!!
 
afaik mobo monitor stopped being updated 2 years ago so there is no point putting it in the list

plus most of those are already in Jokesters sticky

S&M anyone? I like to use this program to check on the max temp I can expect from the most hideous loads that will ever strain the processor.. I've never found another proggie that can make the processor feel the burn so quickly like S&M. Otherwise excellent post, deserves to be stickied for lazy sods like me who can never be arsed to look for these essential programs !!!

Nice one.

thats because its actually accurate :D

I still have to see evidence that this is, in fact, the case.

Saying that it is more accurate because it uses a different sensor is not proof. Does anyone have any links to proof that this is more accurate?

Stan :)

MBM5 stopped being developed by the guy who wrote it, yes, but you can still get a lot of current config files from enthusiasts. DFI, for example, have loads available on their forums.
 
Defo S&M, it is indeed the best at producing heat very, very quickly.

Going to reiterate my idea above as it didn't get any response. A kind of "best of" or "recommended list" of apps, which IMO are Orthos Prime (beta), CPU-Z, Super pi and Memtest. Cheers.
 
Seconding S&M, nothing like a bit of bondage in the morning.

I find it quite useful for detecting instability fairly quickly, an impatient mans prime as it were.

*votes for sticky*
 
Not worth a sticky on its own but it is worth adding to the overclocking guide for beginers sticky. Max 3 stickies per section! ;)

coretemp is good for getting temps of both cores (often give a different number to your mobo too.. ellegedly it reads directly off the die??)

I'm not conviced about this application. If it cannot tell the correct voltage or CPU speed or multiplier, then how can I trust the temps it reads ? Example, I had a 450x8=3600mhz E6600 - it read it as 502.6x8=4098mhz !!

I dont trust the info this app give...
 
well if i boot up MBM and coretemp, the cpu temp is exactly the same in both apps, and as i consider MBM to be one of the best proggys out there, coretemp thus also gets my blessing and i trust its accuracy
 
benktlottie do you leave coretemp open whilst overclocking? if you do, the app will always show the multi/fsb speed at the time you opened it, so if you then change the fsb, coretemp will not show this, it probably does this as the app was designed specifically to monitor core temperatures, not to be a more complete cpu management app, (else it would be called coremanager or something, not coretemp :p ) well thats my theory anyway
 
Good work :)

Drop in AquaMark3 bench tests and you got another sticky vote here.

I'ts good to have all these links in one place...
