Monitoring the temperature of my pc

[heisenbergwhite]

I'm about to order parts to build a gaming pc and its my first time building. I'm a little nervous and since I've had multiple problems with overheating laptops I've purchased in the past I'm going to obsess over making sure nothing is running too hot in this desktop. I was wondering if my asus z77 motherboard or windows 7 comes with a program to monitor the temp of individual parts of the pc (mainly the cpu and gpu) so i can make sure I've installed my h100 properly and the airflow is good in the case. If not what program i should download to do this. Thanks in advance!

Your z77 motherboard will have a suite that monitors temps.

Thermal Radar : multiple sensors provide temperature readings with auto fan speed adjustments. New Fan Overtime keeps fans running after system shutdown to dissipate residual heat, thereby preventing component damage. Users can use Fan Off to disable cooling if temperatures are low, reducing noise, fan wear, and power consumption.

Available on the ASUS site ^
