PC Hardware Monitoring

How fast are your fans spinning? How hot is your CPU/Hard Disk/Case? What are your clock rates and multipliers?

Here are some free programmes that provide all the PC metering you should need.

The original Motherboard Monitor (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) is no longer being actively developed but it is still good for current motherboards so take a look.

An alternative that is till under active development is SpeedFan(http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php).

CoolMon (http://www.coolmon.org/) is a cool monitor that can monitor a lot of things about your PC as well as display data from Motherboard Monitor as well as SpeedFan. CoolMon is currently being rewritten to version 2.0.

Finally there is CPU-Z and PC Wizard from (http://www.cpuid.com/) that tell one all about their CPU and PC system. PC Wizard can link with Motherboard Monitor but in my case it got the case and CPU temperatures transposed....
