Could someone tell me some gud softwares for benchmarking and monitoring CPU/Mobo and GPU?
I understand PC Mark/ Super PI for CPU and 3d Mark for GPU are widely used for benchmarking but do these also allow temperature monitoring? I need something to tell me what the CPU/GPU temps are like at idle and load.
I have got some utility with the motherboard (MSI 965P Neo). Dont know how effective it is but would still like some alternates.
While we are at it.. What are safe temp thresholds for the CPU and GPU.. i.e temps over which someone who wants to use his rig for a few years wouldnt wanna go :hap5:
That thing is exactly what I wanted with its plotting temps over the duration a game is played.. Unfortunately thats for NVidia graphics cards Nebody know of similar stuff for ATI
The catalyst control centre lets you know the temp of the GPU at the moment but you are not gonna be checking temps every once in a while during gaming.. Also dont know if it has any provision to set alarm levels
EDIT : Sorry for double-posting. Newbie mistake :ashamed:
That’s just it, to check temps at full load I would have to ALT-TAB out of the game which I would have to do several times to get an accurate picture.. which I dont wanna do.
use ATI Tool or Ati Traytool to monitor everything on ati cards.. and it also shows a small taskbar icon with ur current temp which updates every 10sec. (u can set it to update every 1sec too)
