Good software temperature monitor?

Hey everyone, this is my first post so take it easy on me... I'm new to this sort of stuff. I just had this computer built for me (specs below) and I've been going around the internet trying to find a good/user friendly temperature monitor but am having a good time. I found this site and figured this would be a great place to ask for suggestions! Thank you in advance!

Welcome!

Realtemp would be my choice for only temperatures. Coretemp coming in second, and HWMonitor 3rd (waaaaaaay too much information for some).

Nice PC you have there!!!

You didnt post a link or program name,

I have always used coretemp (http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/) it works well and it is free. I also have it set up to put all the information (temps, speed, and usage) in the taskbar. You can also get MSI Afterburner to monitor your GPU tems and usage. http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm, it is free as well.

I posted programs names (put a COLOR on them now)...but since that was apparently easily missed, here are the links to those fc didnt post :

Realtemp
HWMonitor

I have never used realtemp, it works very well, good recommendation. I like that it is set up to do CPU/GPU in the program and in the taskbar; which is something that coretemp does not do.

Thank you everyone for your quick and informative replies! I am sure you will see my name with more questions in the future!! Thank you again!

HWMonitor if you use windows
thats all you need

HWInfo32/64 + MSI Afterburner (latest beta) if you want to see on-screen ALL temps/voltages/RPM's/CPU load/whatever during games or/and record your gaming session.
