I wanted a program to monitor my PC temperatures and I many people said that HWMonitor was a good one to use. My questions would be, is HWMonitor a safe malware free program? Does it have any hidden features that will mess up my computer? Is it reliable and accurate? Are there any better monitors that won't give me any hidden features? Thanks in advance guys for taking your time to answer this. With much love.

P.S.- Whenever I run a game such as CS:GO, the exhaust fan from the back of my case blows warm air. When no game is running, there is cool air. Should I be worried? If I should be worried what should I do?

My Build:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK
GPU: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
CPU: Intel i7 3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5 GHz
Power Supply: Corsair GS600 600 Watt
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
Hard Drive: SeaGate Barracuda 1TB

Another question would be if any of these parts are outdated. Mainly on my motherboard. Is there need for an upgrade? Thanks guys for taking your time on this!

I geuss your pc runs hot when your gaming because there is more load on the CPU/GPU, thats normal , but i recommend you start a game and check your temps, and also that GPU is abit old , i recommend a R9 280x or a GTX 970 (if you want to spend more)
 


What would be a good and accurate monitor that is not malwarebytes and will not install hidden files that are hard to get rid of and mess up my pc? Thanks for answering ^w^
 
Hello... 1) HW monitor is a Good small APP.
2) Download from here to get no bloatware with it. http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
3) Your GPU is the Biggest heat generator in your Computer case... and Yes when Gaming, it is normal for all that heat to be passed out the back of your computer case... Thats where you want it to go... B )
4) You have a good balanced system... next upgrade would be Graphics card http://videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+660&id=2152
