I know of Speccy and CPU-z but i have hard some bad things about them anyone know anything, also something to contorl your fan speeds would be great?

Checkout HWinFO, it gives you temp readings and a lot more. For fan control, you can try speedfan if the fans are connected to the motherboard.

no, get http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
check virustotal for all downloads - that one is clean.

I use CoreTemp for my CPU. It has a nifty desktop widget that's compact and shows temperature, individual core usage and RAM usage at a particular moment, as well as a graph showing total CPU and RAM usage for the last how ever many seconds you set it to. No fan control though. Accurate software, too, gives the same readings CPUID and HardwareMonitor give.

I use MSI Afterburner to monitor VRAM usage, GPU usage, GPU temperature, and speed. Together, the CoreTemp and MSI widgets take up a small part of my lower left corner of my second monitor.

Edit: CoreTemp also shows your CPUs current voltage and speed clocking, if you want it to.

RealtempGT is hands-down the best for monitoring temperature on an intel system.

OP have lots of options to choose from. CoreTemp, Hwmonitor, HWinfo are all good hardware monitors. I've used all these, but I've been using HWinfo a lot because it can integrate with Riva for on-screen display while gaming, just like afterburner, and you can customize it more.

I either way use HWMonitor or Speccy. Speccy doesn't seem to display GPU temperature for me though.
