    Any good programs to find your cpu and gpu temps?

    I've tried downloading hwinfo32 from cnet but AVG keeps saying its a virus.

    Thanks

    Download HWinfo direct from his site.

    It is the best program for monitoring temps.

    It could just be my system, but I have had a number of issues with HWINFO.

    It's ends up crashing on me almost everytime I use it... but it doesn't crash with the usual error message. What happens is after a while, it stops updating system information, then when I try to close it, it won't close (even if I force close it through task manager). Then, if I try and restart, the computer wont shut down all the way so I have to do a cold restart.

    This is a stock R3 too, with the original software and everything.
