Best CPU monitoring program

[Seth Lockwood]

What is the best CPU temperature monitoring program out there. My computer is running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

I use my mobo utility software. Older PCs don't have this. So I recommend HWInfo for monitoring the whole PC, not just CPU temp. This works fine on Intel builds, but amd mobos often have CPU temp sensors that don't cooperate. So far it seems that AMD Overdrive is bets for especially older amd builds.

UPDATE ON CORE TEMP:

Today 3/31/2015 9:00 EDT.

Opened up with a deluge of garbage. Save yourself some cleanup time.

DO NOT OPEN THIS PROGRAM!!!

Did you download it from Coretemp's website, or a 3rd party site? Curious if people having issues downloaded it directly from Coretmep's alcpu dot com website.

I downloaded it via the link for Coretem's website. There are at least 6 piggybacked software and you have to use the skip button to not install any of the bloatware. The app itself is not really very good and not worth having to pay that much attention to insure you don't end up with bloatware.

<edit> And I too came here wanting to know what was the best software for monitoring temps more than anything. Even though I have an AMD FX9590 I was hoping there would be an answer here. One answer was close to helping; but AMD Overdrive doesn't support the 9 series FX chips yet.

What about Real Temp (3.70 is the version I have)? I think I installed this based on what Linus of LinusTechTips uses in his Youtube videos. Any issues with it?
