Just got a new pc with an asus prime 9070xt and wanted to check that everything is running smoothly. What monitoring software does everyone personally use or should I just use the manufacturer one if they have one?

The standard system monitoring software that comes prepackaged with on cosmic is garbage.

It displays CPU, RAM, network and disk.

That's it, so when I am trying to figure out if a game I am running is using my Nvidia card or if it's running using the other card I cannot easily see what it's doing during run time.

Kde system monitoring does this, even windows default system monitoring does this. Yet why in the ever loving hell does the cosmic one not do this.

I'm trying not to vent.

What system monitoring software would any of you recommend for displaying basic information on what my hardware is doing.

I've been using NZXT CAM lately since it came recommended with my board but I'm looking for something better & more open source that accurately monitors everything & comes with fan & RGB lighting control & ideally a program that as little to no advertising as possible since CAM does seem to also be an advertising portal for some of their products & doesn't require an account just to use it. Can anyone recommend me such a program?

I want software that I can see just a few temperatures. I did use hardware monitor, but I can’t organize on my other screen while gaming just a few temperatures.I want to be able to select what temps I see.

I relatively recently got my first AMD GPU (Sapphire), and until now it's been fine, but am getting crashes on one game. Trying to figure out the culprit. Could be my CPU just as easily.

So I did a browser search for some hardware monitoring software, and came back with Hardware monitor and MSI afterburner. I only have the one monitor, an Intel CPU, and would like to be able to monitor temps and other stats of CPU and GPU while gaming. Could anyone make a recommendation between the two based on my requirements?

Thanks.

Looking to be able to monitor GPU/CPU temps in-game and would also like for it to have the FPS somewhere small in the top right corner of the screen. suggestions would be welcome, thanks!

I just need a software to check my cpu and gpu temps on my laptop. I currently have armoury crate but I don’t trust its capability to read temps. I would prefer a free software as I don’t want to start paying for another subscription. Thank you in advance.

Hey guys, Happy New Year. I would like to know which software for monitoring my gpu you think it's best. I've bought a second-hand rtx 2080 in this crisis of 3080's, a Gainward Phoenix to be specific.

Greetings, fellow PCMRs. I ascended about a month and a half ago (i7-9700k, RTX 2080, 32G DDR4 RAM) and I couldn't be happier with the build. Given my specs, fans and liquid cooling I'm not particularly concerned about any overheating problems (I don't plan on overclocking right now) but due to some terrible experiences in the past I'd like to keep an eye on my CPU and GPU temps. Does anyone have a software recommendation? I've been using CAM which seems prone to errors (numbers occasionally jumping all over the place and are clearly not accurate).

Just curious what everyone is using and recommends for monitoring cpu and gpu performance/temps via an on-screen overlay. I'm trying to find an overlay solution that doesn't cause a massive hit in performance, or cause games to crash, or just plain does not work consistently.

-I really like the advanced Nvidia overlay, but it's behavior can be questionable at times. I'm not sure if it degrades performance or even contributes to crashes in some games.

-Intel PresentMon is really cool, and its customization options are good, but it causes performance degradation due to how aggressive it polls at stock. I haven't tried tweaking how often it polls system information yet to see if there's a way to get rid of the performance hit. It is also hit and miss in terms of being able to enable and disable it.

-HWINFO64 is god tier for monitoring, but not so much as an overlay in my experience. I've always had trouble getting it to even display info onscreen when configured with a hotkey. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

-RivaTuner with MSI Afterburner is probably the GOAT, but I have little experience configuring it and it seems old as hell. Is this still the best route to go?

Any recommendations?

Hi I am running a gaming rig with msi b660m-e mobo and inno3d 3060ti graphics card. Is there any software that can help me with finding the temps and other stats of these precious components?

TIA

So im wondering what suggestions people have for a program to monitor the gpu,cpu temps and memory

i currently have AMD adrenalin and Corsairs iCUE which both arent very accurate for everyhing

My laptop has a Ryzen 7 5800h and a gtx 1650

Just bought a 5700xt today but for the life of me I cant locate the temp readings in any of the AMD software? I dont know if I'm looking right past it and searching online for it isnt coming up with anything.

I downloaded the NZXT CAM program but it reads everythubg BUT my GPU for some reason.

Frustrated as hell just trying to see temps!

Edit: TY for the responses all, very appreciated!
