Hey guys I have 2 questions. One what is a good program for monitoring CPU and GPU temps? I currently use HWmonitor but it is kinda hard to read and I like having 2 programs so I can know there right. For GPU i usually use Ntune and Rivatuner, so i dont need a program for that. Question 2, I am wanting to Overclock my CPU(AMD Phenom 8650 2.3GHz) and my GPU(PNY Power saver Nvidia 9800gt) so what temps should my parts idle at before and after Overclcoking? Right now Ntune/Nvidia Monitor says my GPU idles around 40C 40% fan and 35C 100% fan speed, On load it doesnt get over 50C. My CPU Idles around 45-50C and im not sure about load. I am using stock cooling on the CPU but I have an extra case fan next to my GPU which keeps it pretty cool. So I guess the main question is what temps are normal for a processor and graphic card like mine?
 
you can use speedfan and and GPU-Z for monitoring cpu and gpu temps.
 
I have tried speedfan but when i launch it it starts then freezes and i never get to the part where i can change my fan speeds or where i can see temps.
 
uh try everest. or if your mother board supports it, AMD Overdrive
