    Question Temperature Monitor to use?

    Hello Friends,
    I want to Monitor all the temperatures on my laptop, namely CPU-1/2/3/4, HDD, etc, etc.

    Please suggest me a paid/free software u have used and/or using?
    My OS: Windows-7 Professional, 64-bit

    EDIT: Want something to show up in the system tray.

    Thanks,
    Grr


    I found this:

    but i'm not sure what temp it monitors?

    Im using "SpeedFan" too, not only that it show's the temp in the system tray, but you can also adjust system fans speed, and rename the temperatures as you want i.e. cpu/hdd...
    You can choose what temp to show in the tray.. cpu/hdd..
    I use it to control the speed of the exhaust fan in the back of the case.

    I use Everest Ultimate Edition 4.6 for this, it puts the temp icons in the systray:

    Attachment 184

    The icons in order are

    • (WinPatrol),
    • CPU Core (yellow) voltage,
    • CPU Cooling Fan (red),
    • HDD1 & HDD2 temps (black),
    • GPU Diode temp (blue)
    • CPU1 Core1, CPU1 Core2 & CPU temps (maroon)
    • Motherboard temp (green)
    • and finally the Everest icon.

    NOTE: this is the default setup, it's configurable (which sensors, C or F, colors, etc) via Options.

    PS: I got a license and a download link from Pro.de (took about an hour to get the 2nd email). Installed and activated it

    I have PCWizard. But it seems that Everest is much better. Have downloaded it now..actually using it. Nice. I hear that Everest has been bought by Aida(aren't they rival companies before?). There's an AIDA64 there in their website. But it's paid and I see no promo

    Yeah, they did buy Everest. I guess they learned a trick from Bill Gates, if someone makes a better product, just buy it.

    Only problem with Everest is it's getting outdated, the 4.60 database doesn't recognize the ID of one of my motherboards.

    Yeah and I believe it's the last one. It's AIDA64 now. Still searching here for promos but zit..zero...You can take a look at overclockers.net they have a wide array of tools there.

    @Prakash Bhai, thanks for details and snaps.

    I was using CPU Meter, just updated to v3.5. Also installed Core Temp now.

    For my Intel i5, Core Temp shows only 2 cores, while CPU Meter shows 4...also the temps by both are not the same?
