CPU Temperature and Fans

[huntrex0]

I have an AMD 6300 6-Core processor and I was wondering if there is a program that I can use so while I'm Playing games I can see the temperature of the CPU and also adjust the fan usage out of game!

SpeedFan works great for me on both regards, although some advanced fan stuff can be kind of complicated. If you want to regulate your fan speeds more simply, the BIOS is the best bet but cannot obviously be done on the fly. But SpeedFan is great.

gpu-z, hands down the best out there for monitoring regular activities or overclocking http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

You can use a combination of MSI Afterburner + HWinfo32/64 to actually monitor on screen while gaming.

Most boards and video cards will keep the fans adjusted as needed, but speedfan can control many cpu/fans connected to a board and afterburner can deal with video card fans on most cards.

Believe the OP was looking for a program for the CPU, I'm fairly certain that GPU-Z is for GPUs.

But on that note CPU-Z is a good program for CPU related information, however it does not tell you the temperature of the CPU like SpeedFan does, nor let you control and monitor fan speeds.
