r/pcbuilding on Reddit: Favourite monitoring software for gpu and cpu temps?
December 19, 2025 -

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 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.

January 21, 2022 - 2.) HWiNFO is a lightweight sensor/monitor tool with OSD features. MSI afterburners main focus is OC with a small and limited OSD. 3.) Simply different tools:while HWiNFO tries it best to not cause CPU/GPU impact with reading sensor data - important with AMD CPUs, since other CPU sensor tools trigger many times the boost logic and cause high wattage/high temp peaks for no reason - MSI's Afterburner is made to change and override hardware parameters.

Hey guys,

I completed my first ever build a couple days ago and am totally new to PC gaming. I've downloaded HWMonitor, and NZXT CAM software to monitor usage, temps, fan speeds, etc. I'm wondering what the best software is to use to put an overlay on games to show CPU/GPU speeds and temperatures while gaming. I have the FPS overlay enabled in Origin/Steam and that works fine. I enabled the CAM in-game overlay but whenever I activate it, it drops my FPS from 200+ to like 60, so don't really want to use that.

Any other software recommendations?

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?

r/buildapc on Reddit: Hardware monitoring software recommendation
August 27, 2025 -

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.

I semi-recently bought the MSi GTX 760 OC. I see on the box there are a few overclocking/monitoring software, but I just installed drivers via GeForce Experience, so I think I missed out on some good features.

I don't really like MSi Afterburner. Any suggestion for something I can download and keep on a second monitor to keep an eye on the status of my CPU/GPU?

October 13, 2021 - ... There are a lot of them, but some of the gold standards are HWInfo, CPUz/GPUz, and Speedfan. They don't have much in the way of UI, but other programs link up with them nicely and they are low footprint.
