Checking Temps

    Hi,

    Please excuse my ignorance. I have read those stickies at the top of this Forum but many of the links are dead and buried. I'm looking to check the temps on my main computer at home. A quick Google has suggested a program called 'Motherboard Monitor' or 'Everest'. However, the first page of links I clicked don't seem to be working or are extremely old links (2007-2008).

    I'm just wondering could someone here link me to a program I can download and run that will test the temp of some of my components. Any other information or guide/benchmark on how to do it and what the temperatures should be would be greatly appreciated.

    Once again, this is probably easy work for others but I just want to make sure I'm downloading the RIGHT one. I've never done it before so I just want to know if there's anything that can go wrong and what the temperatures should be.

    Thanks!

    CoreTemp for CPU and GPUz for video card. SpeedFan is another solution. Let us know your system specs and we'll be able to tell you if the temps are acceptable. In most cases your bios will have a hardware monitoring section which displays temperatures as well

    Speccy from the makers of ccleaner is also quite handy:

    Just run SIW (it's portable, doesn't need to be installed), navigate to Hardware > Sensors, and it'll show you the readings from all components with temperature sensors (CPU, GPU, HDD).
