    If you want a general overview of the pc, with temps and stuff, download hwmonitor.
    RealTemp also is good for monitoring cpu temp.
    For the gpu, msi afterburner is the best. It offers overclock options and an osd options to keep gpu clocks and temps under control.
    You need to setup it under settings.
