What is the best program to show temps, voltage etc. in windows? Is there a program that allows you to change multiplier and bus speed in windows? If so where would i find these? Thanks

Motherboard Monitor is a very popular program...find a link for it in utilites (I think) on the front page. You do, however, have to take the temps reported with a grain of salt because the in socket thermistor in motherboards is not terribly accurate. It's good enough to determine whether or not your CPU is going to die (about 60C for AMD, not sure on Intels)...but not much else.

There are programs for changing the FSB from the OS...SoftFSB sticks out in my mind, but I know that there are others. There currently isn't (to my knowledge, at least) a proggie to change the multiplier from within the OS.

CPUFSb or CPUCOOL, works somewhat similar to SoftFSb... but this one still has support and is continuously updated... shareware( $13 ).
