Anyone know any better program mainly to track max temps? I dont care for the fan speeds, and they seem to be wrongly calculated, sometimes showing up false number of 30k rpm or something silly. But I dont think the temperatures are calculated correctly either, but I might be wrong. Any reliable program to track temperatures would be nice.
Any program is only as good as the type of sensors it can actually read.
For example on my sabertooth motherboard AI suite cannot read some of the sensors even though it is the AI suite made by ASUS for that ASUS MOthboard.
I have had the best results using HWInfo or AIDA. HWINFO is free.
Open Hardware Monitor is also an option, it's free, open source, and extremely simple and easy to use.

Alternative to HWmonitor for Temps and battery back stats?
Best program for hardware monitoring and keeping save logs
What resource/hardware monitoring app should I use that looks visually appealing?
Is there anything like HWinfo, but for linux? A really detailed hardware monitor?
Is HWMonitor safe?
HWMonitor just reports on the output of sensors that are already embedded in the hardware of your computer. It cannot damage your equipment.
How do you read HWMonitor?
HWMonitor displays data in categories. Each category has a node point that can be expanded. Some categories have subcategories. In order to see all of the subcategories, click on the plus symbol (+) next to the category name. When a category expands, that plus sign turns into a minus sign (-). Click on the minus sign to collapse a category’s display down to its heading.
What is VRM temp in HWMonitor?
VRM temp refers to the temperature of the voltage regulator module (VRM). This is difficult to spot in HWMonitor because the VRM doesn’t always have a temperature sensor built into it – this depends on the decisions of the manufacturer. Thus, HWMonitor doesn’t have a slot in to display format for this temperature and its position can change depending on the motherboard brand being monitored. You have to guess which is the VRM temperature – some users have reported TMPINT2 as this value.
What’s your favorite hardware monitor program that automatically keeps save logs?
I know of HWMonitor, Open hardware monitor, MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z, HWinfo, NZXT Cam, CPUID, Speccy.
What’s your favorite and why? Does it do something the other programs don’t?
Personally, I’m looking for a program that monitors my Temps and usage and will keep a save log while I’m doing everyday work and gaming.
