Currently don't keep anything running full time.
I use core temp or HWMonitor if I want to check things out along with everest for some things.

There was a program I downloaded last month that I can't remember the name of and can't remember where I stored it, It was a full screen display of dials, bar graphs, line graphs and you could make your own page layout with whatever you wanted to add by just drag and dropping components. It did temps, volts, rpm, processes, and also had scripting. Just can't recall the name. I found it while looking for a program to graph cpu usage. But just searched again and can't locate it.

Real Temp 3.0

I use Everest and a Sidebar gadget that reads from Everest for temps. It's not CoreTemp, but it's good enough to tell how much the temps change.

HWMonitor I use to read HD temps.

Are you using windows 7? I just got this and it crashes upon startup for me. Using win7 x64.

 

[mr3manuel]

I am indeed... x86 though

last time i had black box crash on me was because of my hard drive being corrupted

it scans your hardware during startup

CPU Z, GPU Z, and Core Temp for me. Use LinX and OCCT3.0 GPU test, and memtest to determine stability.
