System performance

[r3l4x-m4n]

not sure if this is the write category but it is where im coming from.

Just Built a new system and need to see if it's performance is what it's supposed to be.

Whats the best Free software for monitoring hardware; temperatures of CPU ,GFX card, mobo stats, hdd stats, ram, fan speeds
pretty much just to see how things are working together.

what do most people use?

thanks,

From the sticky in the OC forum:

System Monitoring
There are several options for processor core temp and system temp monitoring. For a discussion of what is different between the apps I am about to list, see this thread. PLEASE READ THAT THREAD BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY SOME OF THESE READ DIFFERENT TEMPS!

These first two will give you just the core temperatures (not system temps, voltages, etc.):

Core Temp (freeware)
Real Temp (freeware)

The next three will give you core temps plus many other temps, voltages, fan RPMs, etc.:

HWMonitor (freeware)
Speedfan (freeware)
Everest Ultimate (shareware $$$)

Memory Testing (optional but can help rule-out bad memory)
Memtest86+ is a great piece of software that will test your memory. Download the bootable ISO and allow it to test your system for 6-24 h. I ran it on my machine for a little over 6h 17m with no errors
