Hi, after spending 2 days trying to figure out why I couldn't get CPU temps with msi afterburner, it turned out its because of shared memory support (which I have to manually activate every 12 hours). Unless someone has a script to automatically activate it again every 12 hours I'm going to use a new software, and I've decided to use cpu-z because it is cpu-z, but I have no idea how to set it up. Any help would be appreciated.
 
CPU-Z doesn't show temps, last I checked, if that's what you're asking. It does show you specs to your build and it's BIOS version with a handful of info pertaining to your ram's speeds and the IMC/NorthBridge. You can use HWMonitor to see what your temps are.

Curious though, where did you source the installer for MSI's Afterburner?
 
I am pretty sure (109% sure) I didn't get a virus version for MSI Afterburner as I downloaded it from msi.com. Do you know where I can download HWInfo (not virus) and if it shares CPU temps with other applications? (Help with setting it up would be appreciated as well)
