HWInfo settings for in-game system monitoring

[markyork]

I've been using MSI Afterburner and Riva Tuner for watching some system settings while gaming.

I don't like the size options of the in-game overlay that Riva offers (the smallest is too small and the next one up is too large) so I'm trying HWInfo with MSI.

I'm looking at the monitoring settings in HWInfo and there are SO MANY! There are five sections for my CPU alone (Intel i7-6700HQ), with the four cores separated out and a bunch of items I have no idea what they are. I'd like to just see one temp for the CPU if possible - not all four.

For the GPU there's two temps and I don't see a usage amount line (there's a usage percentage, but I'd like to see an actual GB amount like there is for Physical Memory Used).

There's more, really. I've set the ones that make sense to me, but I'm not seeing the settings that I'd like.

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with what I need to set to monitor to watch CPU temp and usage, GPU temp and usage, RAM usage and framerate.

CPU Temp = Core Package
CPu Usage = Total CPU Usage
GPU Temp =GPU Temperature
GPu Usage = GPU Core Load
Ram Usage = either Physical Memory Used (for a number of megabytes) or Physical Memory Load (for a percentage)
FPS = Frame Rate (that's in MSIAB only)


Also you can change the size of the RT overlay with the On-Screen Display Zoom slider.
I don't know if you need HWinfo actually, all those things are in MSIAB and well, there are less extraneous ones and the ones that are there are self explanatory.
